Welcome to Issamba Centre
Discover the Richness of African and Caribbean Culture
Issamba Centre, the home of the African Art & Cultural Community Contributor (AACCCS) and the Festival AfriCa Fest, is dedicated to promoting African and Caribbean cultures through arts, education, and community engagement. Join us in celebrating diversity and fostering cross-cultural understanding.
Every February, Canadians are invited to celebrate and honor the contributions of their friends of African descent. From February 1st to 28th, we host a series of engaging activities, including a Black History Month Launch, a symposium/summit, a family-oriented celebration, and the ISSAMBA SHOWCASE Festival. The African Art & Cultural CCC Inc. (AACCCS) and its team are committed to promoting cultural awareness through a variety of cultural activities.
