Africa Day 2025: Essence

Africa Day 2025 - Essence: The Sankofa Journey

Who are we? Where did we come from? What do we create? Who do we influence?

As children of the African diaspora, we witness firsthand the undeniable power of our culture in shaping the modern world. Yet, what should have been appreciation has often been distorted into appropriation. This year, on Africa Day 2025, we are reclaiming our narratives, centering Afrocentric perspectives, and embracing the Sankofa principle—honoring our past to shape our future.

Get ready for our biggest Africa Day celebration to date! We’re bringing together the richness of cultures from across the entire African continent with electrifying music, mesmerizing performances, and an immersive experience that embodies the true essence of our heritage. It is not taboo to go back for what we left behind—come celebrate, reconnect, and reclaim with us!

Food will be provided for all guests.
