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.
