This three day celebration of the very best of African culture is a spring highlight and the only place where you will you see over 35 African countries and community organisations represented through music, food, fashion, film, dance, art and culture &#8211; right in the heart of Melbourne.
In its ninth year, AMCF is a firm fixture on the Melbourne events calendar. Due to overwhelming demand this year’s festival at the iconic Fed Square will showcase a three-day program for the first time.
With the rhythms, sounds and tastes of Africa spread throughout Fed Square and River Terrace, the atmosphere is electric and guaranteed to make you feel good. With so much happening throughout the three day festival, it can be hard to know where to start! We recommend grabbing lunch on the River Terrace at one of our African street food stalls and then immersing yourself in the incredible main stage live performances.
For families, there is kid’s entertainment including free African drumming classes, Australian Football League (AFL) activities, National Basketball League (NBL) activities, face painting, jumping castles, Santa’s grotto, mascots, balloonist, African board games and more
Day One: 18 November, 12pm–10pm
The AMCF is excited to broadcast African Australian short films on the Big Screen. A fantastic outdoor cinema vibe with spoken word performances and live jazz music performed between films. Friday night at the AMCF will be the ideal opportunity for city workers to pop by with friends and colleagues, enjoy a delicious African Street Food dinner and drinks whilst watching unique African short films in the main plaza. The perfect way to start the weekend.
Day Two: 19 November, 10am–10pm
The main festival day will return with a multi-layered program delivering 12 hours of non-stop live entertainment. Entertainment will showcase cultural band performances, music, dance, fashion, arts, free drumming lessons, for adults and children alike; along with authentic mouth-watering African street food &#8211; there is plenty of opportunity to learn about the diverse African continent. Plus, there’s a swag of market stalls on hand selling traditional wares, so visitors can take a piece of Africa home.
Day Three: 20 November, 10am–8pm
The final day of the festival will be a continuation of day two featuring 10 hours of non-stop entertainment plus a one-hour forum on a topical African Australian issue with interesting panelists. A fantastic opportunity to return for a second day to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy even more traditional flavours of Africa.

<h2>Christmas in the Square</h2>
Get ready to get Fed festive, as we are turning up the fun dial to the max to celebrate the silly season, being out and about again – and being able to properly say hello, Melbourne!
Of course, all your favourites will be back: Christmas Square, featuring the HUGE 16metre-high Christmas tree and ever-popular Santa’s Workshop for all those cute happy snaps with the big guy in red.
While you’re there, you must also drop by to have a selfie with Fred and Fifi, dressed in their finest Christmas-themed get-up – they’re enormous light-up sculpture installations, thanks to the creative mastery of the team at A Blanck Canvas.
Rounding out the action is the Pillars of Light festival for Chanukah; Koorie Kristmas with the Koorie Heritage Trust; Christmas in the Wizarding World at Fed Square, featuring a not-to-be-missed live performance from the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child; followed closely by Wizard Week, where we&#8217;re screening all the Harry Potter films up on the Big Screen, marathon-style; a santa-sack-packed program of your fave Christmas films; the Fed Christmas Workshop series, featuring a sure-to-be-a-hot-ticket Christmas Wreath workshop with Melbourne floristry icon Flowers Vasette; and heaps more!
Check out the full program below and start planning your Fed festivities this Christmas at the Square!
