Africa Day is returning this May – and is set to be bigger and better than ever!

Events will be held in every county in Ireland to mark the day that celebrates Ireland’s growing links with the continent of Africa.

Irish Aid is working with local authorities all over Ireland to plan a series of events.

This free, family day will see musicians, dancers and cultural groups from across Africa gather to celebrate Africa Day. This follows last year’s successful Africa Day event at RHK, which attracted over 6,000 people.
