More Than a Festival — A Celebration of Culture and Community

Afro Eats and Beats is more than a food festival — it’s a vibrant gathering of stories, culture, pride, and connection. This event celebrates African heritage through food, music, art, and community. From delicious jollof rice and Zimbabwean sadza to handmade jewellery and fashion, it’s a showcase of the continent’s rich traditions and flavours.

At its heart is the philosophy of Ubuntu“I am because you are.” It’s a space where strangers become friends, where heritage is honoured, and where the African diaspora comes alive.

Expect African cooks, caterers, and creators sharing not just meals, but their roots, passion, and stories. Whether you’re tasting hibiscus tea for the first time or dancing to Afro beats with new friends — this is where community meets celebration.
