Midtown Street Party - AfroSamba

Feel the beat at AfroSamba, a high-energy Midtown Street Party brought to you by ORIKoL Productions.

After packing out the streets in 2023, AfroSamba is back and bringing the heat as the days get longer and warmer!

Don’t miss live drumming and music, photo opportunities with roaming Brazilian Dancers, and arts & crafts pop-ups from the African diaspora and beyond - all set to a soundtrack of Afrobeat, DJs and global grooves.

Culture, rhythm, and serious street party vibes, right in the heart of Midtown.

Free, all ages, all welcome. Proudly supported by the city centre targeted rate.
