African Heli Teiji Festival in Nishi Ward

Event Overview

The City of Yokohama, which is the closest city to Africa, is actively engaged in citizen exchange, technical cooperation (water supply business, waste management, etc.), and business development of companies. In addition, the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD7) was held in Pacifico-yokohama in August, and the connection between the rapidly growing African countries and Yokohama has become deeper.
This festival will be held in Nishi Ward for the first time to experience African culture, life and music and feel closer to Africa.
("Africa Helicopter Teiji" means "African property and inherited.")
