BlackFest is kicking off this year at the Pier Head with their Grand Launch supported by the Museum of Liverpool as part of the SRD Slavery Remembrance Programme showcasing a delightful mix of black talent and creativity with an assortment of performances, participatory acts and workshops for all the family and Local traders will be presenting a range of artisanal products and goodies for you to treat yourself or a loved one to.
They will be joined by Afrodance Academy who are known for bringing Afro Dance to Liverpool, led by a wide range of instructors and special guests. People can learn rhythm, technique and structure whilst building confidence and having fun. A great way of meeting new people whilst exploring some of the African Culture!
