North West Cancer Research has teamed up with Africa Oye bringing a touch of science to the festival.
Taking place in Sefton Park, the festival celebrating African and Caribbean music and culture will mark its 25th year on June 17 and 18.
With plenty of live music to enjoy, there will also be a wide range of stalls providing food and drink from around the world, arts and craft, African clothing and much more.
North West Cancer Research and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine will have a team of researchers, scientists and fundraisers on hand to share the joys of science.
Families will have the opportunity to learn how to make DNA out of strawberries and also DNA bracelets to wear, with more activities at the stall across the two days.
This is the first time that North West Cancer Research will be attending the festival as part of their hopes of reaching out to the local community and broadening their knowledge.
