February Festivals and Events in Africa

February (2008) is a busy month in Africa with lots of major festivals and events taking place. The final rounds of the Africa Cup of Nations will be played out in Ghana's football (soccer stadiums). If you're more artistically inclined, Mali plays host to a fascinating cultural festival on the banks of the Niger River. Further south in Zanzibar, a music festival celebrating Swahili culture gets underway in the second week of February.
