Africa Day honors the founding of the Organisation of African Unity on May 25, 1963 — and celebrates the unity, resilience, and global influence of the African continent and its diaspora.
At AfroFuture, we see it as more than a date — it’s a living celebration of who we are, where we come from, and where we’re going. Through food, fashion, film, and culture, we invite you to join us in New York City from May 23–26, 2025 for a weekend of curated experiences rooted in creativity and connection.
Join us for an intimate evening of storytelling through the lens of film, memory, and imagination.
Celebrate the power of storytelling with a curated selection of short films from the African diaspora, followed by a fireside chat with featured filmmakers. Enjoy small bites from Accra Restaurant and drinks by Topo Chico + the Ofori Brothers. RSVP required
Join OkayAfrica and the No Wahala Podcast for a live, in-person conversation exploring mental health across the African diaspora. In a world where culture, identity, and generational healing intersect, this dialogue brings together powerful voices for a necessary and resonant conversation about well-being, visibility, and collective care.
We invite you to be part of our Africa Day Marketplace Pop-Up, a premier retail experience showcasing the best in African fashion, beauty, and lifestyle products. This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with NYC shoppers, tastemakers, and the AfroFuture community while celebrating African creativity and craftsmanship.
Taking place just after the Africa Day Marketplace, this experience at Accra Restaurant is the unofficial after-vibe: an intimate wind-down designed to continue the connection. Guests will enjoy a curated West African tasting menu, Afro-diasporic DJ sets, and intentional conversation with Harlem’s neighborhood heros. Presented by Square.
In celebration of Africa Day, join us for “Roots + Renewal” a culturally immersive wellness experience centered on mental health, healing, and joy within the African diaspora. In partnership with Melanin Moi and Saddie Baddies.
