Africa Celebrates

Africa Celebrates is a Pan-African festival presented by Legendary Gold Limited in collaboration with the African Union Commission and public and diplomatic partners. Held annually in Addis Ababa, the event brings together African countries, the Diaspora and people of African descent to celebrate the continent’s diversity and build connections for a shared future. Its sixth edition is scheduled for 10–15 November 2026 in Addis Ababa, under the theme “One Africa, One People: Uniting Culture, Innovation and Enterprise for a Shared Prosperous Future.”

The festival’s five pillars are art, culture, heritage, technology and business. Its programme includes exhibitions and showcases in visual arts, film, fashion, music, dance and cuisine, alongside forums on investment, trade, tourism, women’s leadership, youth, innovation, health, reparations and the African Diaspora. These activities connect policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, creatives and community leaders, while promoting intra-African collaboration and Made-in-Africa products and services. Participating countries can present tourism destinations, cultural attractions and investment opportunities. Delegates can also access tour packages exploring Ethiopia’s history, culture and natural beauty.
