The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) is partnering with the African Cultural Festival (ACF2025) to host the African Diaspora Summit in September in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA.
The event, supported by the Government of Pennsylvania and the Dauphin County Commissioners, will bring together global leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and policymakers under the theme: “Africa to the World: Culture, Creativity, and Collaboration.”
NiDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, described the summit as a platform to harness Diaspora expertise, promote youth and women’s empowerment, and advance Africa’s creative economy as a driver of innovation and stronger global ties.
The three-day festival, scheduled for 19–21 September 2025, will feature cultural showcases, youth leadership forums, business networking, and the celebration of African creativity across fashion, art, music, film, technology, and cuisine.
NiDCOM will also present Nigeria’s vibrant creative sector, forging strategic partnerships that align with the nation’s economic and cultural development goals.
The African Cultural Festival was officially unveiled on March 26, 2025, at the Capitol Rotunda in Harrisburg.
It will celebrate nine “Duduplugs” of creativity: fashion, music, art, technology, film, dance, literature, food, and home.
