Donegal County Council in partnership with Letterkenny Community Development Project (CDP) and Donegal Intercultural Platform held a successful celebration of Donegal Africa Day and Street Feast this weekend at the An Grianán Theatre Plaza.

People came together to enjoy a celebration of the diversity of African culture and heritage.

Donegal Africa Day and Street Feast offered an energetic lineup of activities for attendees of all ages. From captivating African music performances to engaging kids' games and elegant henna tattoos, the event provided a platform for celebration, learning and cultural exchange.

Sean Fleming, Minister of State for International Development and Diaspora, said:
“Africa Day is an important event to celebrate Ireland’s growing links with the continent of Africa, and to showcase African culture, music, dance and much more. Ireland has growing trade, political and cultural links across the continent of Africa. Africa Day is an opportunity to promote those links and learn more about the diversity and vibrancy of African cultures. Events have been taking place nationwide.”

Cllr Martin Harley, Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council said: “Through the implementation of our Black and Minority Ethnic Inclusion Strategy, events like Donegal Africa Day and Street Feast serve as important milestones in our journey towards building a more inclusive and cohesive community."
