University Tent at the Africa Festival
From May 23 to 25, 2026, the Africa Competence Center will once again be represented at Europe’s largest and oldest festival for African music and culture – this time in front of City Hall at the Vierröhrenbrunnen. In the University Tent, which has been an integral part of the Africa Festival for more than 15 years, we present a selection of the many Africa-related research projects at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg.
