The International African Arts Festival began in 1971 as the African Street Carnival, a PTA's block party fundraiser for an independent school in Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn with local entertainers, about 20 arts and crafts vendors, along with food prepared by the parents. The International African Arts Festival (IAAF) has been part of the Brooklyn's cultural landscape for 40 years. Each year a committed team of Board members, consultants, part-time seasonal staff and volunteers, work together to transform a city park into an outdoor African cultural oasis that celebrates traditional and contemporary expression of various African cultural art forms. www.iaafestival.org
