The UK’s first annual African cultural festival is set to be held in the West Midlands this summer.

Ubuntu Pride | Celebrate African Culture in Coventry

1st & 2nd August 2022

Celebrating all things Africa, Ubuntu Pride will showcase African culture through traditional music, arts, dance and food. It is expected to take place outdoors in Coventry on August the 1st and 2nd, with final confirmations due to be held in the coming months.*

Ubuntu Pride will be the first of its kind on such a scale as it celebrates many African nations in one festival, bringing together people whose heritage spans across the African continent.

The West Midlands is home to various festivals catering for the Asian and Afro-Caribbean community but has never held a similar event for members of the African diaspora.

This free public event will echo the atmosphere and vibe of national events, like the Notting Hill carnival and Black Pride. The Afro-fest is being supported by Migrant Voice, a national charity organisation, which invests in highlighting the experiences of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.

Although showcasing African culture and identity, the Ubuntu Pride festival will be open for all to enjoy.
* Final details and venue for this event are still being finalised. Check here for updates!
