I'll Make Me a World in Iowa - Iowa's African American Festival '21 Virtual

I'll Make Me a World in Iowa 2021 Virtual Festival

In response to the Global Pandemic I’ll Make Me a World in Iowa is meeting the challenge of delivering an honored, cherished event by going virtual in our own unique way. This year Celebration Day and Education Day will be presented virtually on our customized platform. This will enable participation from across the state and beyond. It will allow I’ll Make Me a World in Iowa to present programing that continues to lift up the contributions of the African Americans, especially if we look at the historic challenges that 2020 shed light upon.

Iowa's African American festival will deliver an exciting festival celebrating I’ll Make Me a World in Iowa’s status as the first major festival of the year; the culmination of Black History Month in our state; the home of Iowa’s newest official state song (titled “I’ll Make Me a World in Iowa”); and as the inspiration for other major ethnic festivals with thousands in attendance.
