A festival area is created over four days on the lake promenade between MRSV and Undosa, focusing on African, Caribbean, and international joie de vivre. The location directly on the shores of Lake Starnberg gives the festival its special charm.

Traditional drum groups and a gospel choir complement the program, as do dance performances and a fashion show presenting African and Caribbean fabrics and designs.

There are also special activities for children, making the festival suitable for the whole family.
