The African Market Day events

The African Market Day events began in 2008 and were established to provide a positive platform for cultural exchange.

The event showcases the best in African culture and provides an opportunity for communities to learn about African culture including the unique cultures of the African Diaspora, the Caribbean and Latin America.

The African Market Day Festivals are free community led events, which celebrates the uniqueness and diversity of the Africa and the Diaspora including the cultures of the Caribbean and Latin America.

We have held a variety of events all over London in the Boroughs of Greenwich, Lambeth, Camden and Southwark and hosted the first ever African Street Market festival Lower Marsh Waterloo. The African Street Market Festival was featured in advertisement for the Waterloo Bid and the events held in Camden were featured in the programme Afrika Rising.

Over the years we have been supported by many organisations including but not limited to, Grace Foods, Jamaica National, OHTV, The Voice Newspaper, BBC London, Lyca Mobile, Afriqiyah airways , Ninety Nine Magazine.

The African Market Day events would not be where it is today if it didn’t have the support of dedicated volunteers who are passionate
about the success of this vibrant celebration
of culture.
