This Is Africa is more than an event - it is a space where heritage meets celebration, and community meets empowerment.
About this Event

We’re excited to be bringing This Is Africa back for its third year, and once again, we’re proud to be working alongside Home Group and Tribe Tesi to make it happen.

This Is Africa has grown into something really special. It’s not just an event, but a space filled with joy, culture and connection; a moment for our communities to come together and celebrate African heritage right here in the North East. After last year’s incredible turnout, with music, dancing, great food and activities for children, we’re looking forward to making 2026 even more memorable.
