Everyone’s invited to Africa on the Square, a free event on Saturday 10 October. From noon-6pm, Trafalgar Square will come alive with music, dance, fashion, food, a market and more. There’ll be fun stuff for kids to do too like hair-braiding, batik and mosaic making.
Highlights include a talent show for young performers, live music from across Africa and DJ Abrantree on the decks. African Fashion Week London will be presenting a live catwalk show. You’ll also be able to pick up African arts and crafts at the market and delicious foods.
Africa on the Square is organised by the Mayor of London for Black History Month 2015
