Africa Celebrates 2024: Where Culture Meets Commerce in Addis Ababa’s Biggest Festival Yet!

UNECA and the African Union are coming together to host Africa Celebrates 2024, a massive pan-African festival that will take place from November 6-10 in Addis Ababa. Set at UNECA’s prestigious headquarters, including the historic Africa Hall where the African Union was born, this event promises to be a celebration of the continent’s vibrant culture, innovation, and unity.

The festival will feature a wide range of events, from the Africa Talks Business & Investment Forum and Tech & Innovation Summit to the Women & Youth Forum. Attendees can explore the latest in African fashion at the Africa Fashion Business Forum, learn about health and beauty trends at the Wellness & Beauty Africa Expo, and join creative discussions at the Afro Film Alliance. Adding to the excitement, the Deborah Foundation will run a special initiative to raise awareness about Down Syndrome.

Alongside business and innovation, Africa Celebrates 2024 will embrace the continent’s artistic and cultural heritage. Festival-goers can enjoy the Africa Peace Walk & Carnival, experience the Cultural Night filled with dance, music, and cuisine, and end the evening in style at the Gala Fashion & Awards Night.

The event aims to empower women and youth, promoting economic growth through trade, tourism, and investment. It will culminate in a grand closing ceremony at the African Union’s Nelson Mandela Hall, bringing together participants from across Africa and beyond.

With its biggest edition yet, Lexy Mojo-Eyes, President/CEO of Legendary Gold Limited and the driving force of the event said Africa Celebrates 2024 is set to inspire, entertain, and connect the continent like never before.
