Around the world at FNNC

For the seventh consecutive year, FNCC, in cooperation with the Association of Diplomatic Spouses brings you yet another edition of the International Food and Craft Bazaar.

The reputable charity open market is regarded as a melting pot of diverse cultures where people from all walks of life get a chance to mingle. Embassies and diplomatic missions in Namibia will present exquisite culinary specialities, unique arts and crafts souvenirs from their countries, together with performers from all around the world. This means you’ll be able to taste Malaysian food alongside Brazilian specialties, watch Cuban dancers and listen to French singers – all on the same day, travelling only as far as the Franco-Namibian Cultural Centre (FNCC) in Windhoek.

The bazaar is a charity event which Association of Diplomatic Spouses (ADS) puts on in cooperation with the FNCC. Some 16 embassies are participating this year, alongside nine crafters. The embassies will be selling food, drinks and crafts from their countries, and donating the money they make to ADS for charity projects. The funds this year will go towards supporting initiatives around children welfare in Namibia.

Cultural performances will also take place. The Japanese Embassy will put on a Kendu show, while the Indian High Commission will have a yoga demonstration. Namibian artists will also take part in the performances including Lize Ehlers, Song Night Ambassadors of 2016 and 2017 and a dance show by the OYO Dance Troupe. Save your Saturday for massive fun at the FNCC from 10:00 to 14:00. Entrance is free.
