Africa Day Event 2024
What an amazing event our Africa day celebrations we had on Saturday the 25th of May, 2024. So many people attended and we were delighted to invite the new Mayor of Northampton to his first event as mayor.
We had Malawians, Kenyans, Ugandans, Zimbabweans, Namibians, Ghanaians and Nigerians performing cultural dances and songs, as well as drumming from our own African Drumming group. So many special guests.
This was our biggest ever event. We are grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund and Northamptonshire Community Foundation for providing grant funding which enabled the event to take place.
