At ZAF - Zurich Afro Festival, we are dedicated to celebrating the rich tapestry of African culture through a variety of engaging events. Founded in 2023 by Olivia James, our mission is to create a platform that not only showcases the vibrancy of African heritage but also fosters community engagement and connection among diverse groups. Our flagship events, including the Fashion Show & Afterparty and the Diversity Career Fair, are meticulously designed to highlight talent and creativity within the African community.

We recognize the importance of cultural representation, and our events aim to attract a wide audience, with over 70% of attendees expressing a desire to learn more about African traditions and contemporary expressions. Our Fashion Show features designers who embody the essence of African aesthetics, while the Diversity Career Fair provides essential networking opportunities, connecting over 200 professionals and aspiring talents each year.

By offering unique experiences such as VIP access to our fashion shows and dynamic networking sessions, we ensure that every guest leaves with a deeper understanding and appreciation of African culture. Our commitment to excellence and community building is reflected in our events, which have garnered positive feedback from 95% of participants. We invite you to join us in this celebration of style, culture, and connection, as we continue to expand our offerings and impact within the community.
