The Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute’s 4th annual AFRIBEMBÉ FESTIVAL is set to take our community on a Diasporic journey through space and time! In the spirit of Sankofa, this Pan-African festival will highlight our shared heritage through powerful musical performances that are rooted in ancestral African rhythms and traditions yet that represent the rich diversity of the Diasporic cultures of Brazil, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and the Motherland by way of Guinea. Powered by the Black genius of both emerging and renowned African descendant creatives, AFRIBEMBÉ is an opportunity to rejoice in our people’s artistry, intellectuality, and musicality.

The Red Wing Arts Fall Festival happens the 2nd weekend of October in the center of beautiful downtown Red Wing. This juried fine arts festival is one of Red Wing Arts’ core events, and typically brings over 16,000 people to the Red Wing area.
This weekend is an exciting time – visitors come for the festival but spend lots of time enjoying the city as well. Our restaurants are full, hotels are bustling, and there is much to do to celebrate our community and the arts.
Festival visitors can expect a variety of high-caliber original works of art for purchase, as well as other opportunities to be inspired: whether it’s listening to music on the main stage, creating something beautiful in our youth interactive zone, eating some delicious food, or participating in a community demonstration.
The Red Wing Arts Fall Festival is an opportunity to celebrate our over 100 regional artists. We host meals for our artists to connect with each other, and our volunteers offer services like “booth sitting” to ensure our artists have the chance to visit our hospitality room throughout the weekend.
Festival Hours:
-
- Saturday 10:00-5:00
- Sunday 10:00-4:00
