Free multicultural festival celebrating diverse arts and heritage returns to Brighton Dome

There’s no surprise why this spectacular event is expected to attract over 2,000 visitors throughout the day - with a dazzling array of stalls, performances and irresistible food, the festival will also feature heritage talks and exhibits to raise awareness and highlight Brighton’s diaspora roots - from Africa, the Caribbean, East and South-East Asia, West Asia, Asia, Middle East, Latin America and beyond.

Express yourself through multiple art, dance and music workshops, or (if you're more of an observer!) sit back and enjoy the incredible Vocalpatchwork Gospel Choir and performances of Indian, flamenco, samba and masquerade dance.

Make sure to stop off for face painting, henna tattoos, head-wrapping and more decorative arts on your wanders around the festival...

Don’t miss the new project by African Night Fever, “The Seeds of The Atlantic Slave Trade” - a Q&A featuring historians, researchers, and music and spoken word performances, that draws upon the city’s connection to the African and Caribbean slave trade legacy and music heritage.
 

You can explore and expand your writing skills with taster workshops by Writing Our Legacy and The Refugee Buddy Project. Children and young people are also invited to contribute to a new Hidden Sussex anthology and map that has been created by under 18s around Brighton.

Other events include “The Shining Lights of Service” talk, covering the stories of Indian soldiers from WWI, and the “Proud To Be” photography exhibition.
