Our 2025 Taste & Trade Festival brought together families, businesses, and community leaders for a vibrant celebration of African culture, food, and music.
The impact of last year’s festival was truly felt across the community. Here’s what some of our attendees and vendors had to say:
“This is such a wonderful work for the African community in the Durham region.” — Lola
“I didn’t expect to win anything from the festival. This is a fantastic gift basket, thank you guys.” — Shade
“I look forward to the next festival. Can you guys organize a Christmas festival as well?” — Rachel
“Everything seemed well organized, thank you, T&T team. You guys went above and beyond.” — Tayo
“I’m excited to see the African community coming together for the children to mingle. This is so nice.” — Gloria
“Let’s continue to go higher and higher, bigger and better for the next festival.” — Damilola

These testimonials reflect the heart of our mission—bringing the community together through culture, connection, celebration, and opportunity.
