Black On The Square

We are looking forward to celebrating Black culture and creativity again in 2024, at this FREE event, brought to you by the Mayor of London.

This flagship event highlights high quality Black culture and creativity, being a celebration for the whole city, and for the people and communities who contribute to the capital’s creativity.

Award-winning actor and rapper Bashy will headline the event in Trafalgar Square, with a packed programme of activities for all ages.

Music performers will include Cultur FM, Krar Collective, Shingai, Orii Community, Kofi Stone, Phoebs and Karen Nyame, to name a few, while there will be a range of activities for children and young people including face painting and art workshops.

The free festival is an opportunity for Londoners and visitors to embrace the diversity of Black culture. This year’s event will celebrate and recognise the importance of collectivism within the community and inspiring a sense of togetherness.

A range of Black-owned businesses will be offering delicious food from Caribbean, Mauritius, Guyana, Jamaica, Nigeria, Ghana, including plantain bites, fusion fish and chips, plant-based ice-creams and West African vegan delights.

Stalls will offer a selection of artisan goods ranging from accessories, coats, bags, home décor, candles, art prints, jewellery, headwear and inclusive books for all ages.
