Family festival of Caribbean culture
-
Celebrate all things Caribbean this summer.
Join us this summer as we celebrate London’s diverse Caribbean culture in a free festival for the whole family.
Leave the quayside for the Caribbean and explore the diverse cultures of these nations at our family festival. Groove to upbeat rhythms in dance workshops with Nzinga Dance and make your own hair baubles to show off your style.
Enjoy inclusive performances by Playworker Amber and Gabriel, interactive storytelling from the Black Cultural Archives, and colourful craft blooms with Salina Jane, a British artist of Indo-Guyanese heritage. Get moving with DJ Melvina Moves, and much more, as we celebrate with London's Caribbean communities.
