Updated: May 19


Founders of the Carolina Haitian Food Festival introducing themselves  to guests in Raleigh.

Art X AM (the content production arm of AMG) was hired to provide event coverage for the Carolina Haitian Food Festival, that took place at the Southeast Raleigh's YMCA in August.


In 2020, three remarkable women; Dafney Tales-Lafortune, Dianna Nicolas, and Christina Bowman sensed a void within the Raleigh-Durham community regarding the acknowledgment and influence of Haitian culinary arts. This led them to ultimately join forces to create the Carolina Haitian Food Festival. The first of its kind in the state, with the sole purpose of showcasing Haitian food, culture, and community at scale.

This year's festival welcomed over 100 vendors from all across the country. Local favorites like OMG Lemonade (Cary), Bel Flame Candles (Charlotte), and Burger Divas (Charlotte) all joined the fun to showcase their goods in the City of Oats. The high point of the evening was provided by world renowned Haitian band, T-Vice, who serenaded festival goers with a melody of their favorite Haitian hits.
