UK's largest of African music and culture is preparing to take over Sefton Park this weekend
The organisers of Liverpool's Africa Oye festival are urging the public and local communities to support the event more than ever as they battle rising costs.
While the festival has always been free to attend, organisers have asked for the support of the public and local communities to keep that from changing.Africa Oye is fully accessible to everyone to attend with no regulations on entry or artists kept behind paid ticket walls. The performances, arts, crafts and energy the public enjoys are worked on all year round by the organisers but rising costs are proving difficult to manage.
Paul told the ECHO: "It's absolutely amazing to have seen the growth and how many people are impacted for the weekend in terms of people being able to access a free festival with a world-class artistic programme. A lot of people can't afford to pay the prices displayed for other festivals so this is a great opportunity for them.
"This year is a really crucial one because I don't think it's sustainable at these current levels and it really does need the public to continue to support the festival. They've always been amazing but its difficult lately.
