The Dashiki Festival Blog

The 9th Annual Dashiki Festival was nothing short of spectacular! What began years ago as a small community gathering has blossomed into one of Colorado’s most vibrant celebrations of African culture.

At CAICC, we believe career development is more than just getting hired—it’s about discovering your purpose, developing your skills, and becoming a leader in your community. That vision came to life at the 2025 Dashiki Career & Business Networking Expo, held on August 1st at the Community College of Aurora.

For vendors passionate about African culture, community, and commerce, Dashiki Festival isn’t just a celebration—it’s a launchpad. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurs, artisans, and creatives gather at Dashiki Festival to showcase their products to a vibrant, engaged audience. Whether you’re selling fashion, food, art, or beauty products, this festival offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to gain exposure, build connections, and boost your brand.

Dashiki Festival 2025 is back, and we’re opening our doors to vibrant vendors ready to bring culture, creativity, and commerce together.

The Dashiki Festival is more than just an annual event; it's a cultural movement dedicated to celebrating the richness of African tradition.
