Summary: The 2 Day Festival of Music, Arts, People, Food, Culture & Real Vibes. A Vision Empowered by the Community to Celebrate National Windrush Day & the Legacy of the Windrush Generations in the UK
Culture x Family x Legacy
Returning for 2022, the 5th edition of London's Windrush Festival once again brings the family together to mark National Windrush Day in a fun & friendly atmosphere through food, music, language, dancing, drinks, crafts & traditions.
Yes! We love all things Caribbean...
Created in 2018, Radiate Windrush Festival predominantly acknowledges the legacy of the Windrush & is a real celebration of our many generations of Windrush Era families, living throughout the UK.
The Festival honours the resilient pioneers of the Windrush & celebrates the many generations of African-Caribbean & Caribbean British descendants in Britain today. Radiate Windrush Festival creates a space & place to highlight the deep & strong determined history, the colourful & innovative Creole creations & the deeply connected African roots.
As a welcome & much loved part of National Windrush Day, entire families come out to enjoy the richness of culture, strength of community life, value of family & celebrate the influential impact of migration on British society since the 1948 arrival of the Empire Windrush.
At its core Radiate Windrush Festival is a grassroots, multi-generational open-air celebration which has grown into a beautiful community empowered event.
Previous Windrush Festivals
The first Radiate Windrush Festival took place in 2018 after being conceptualised at the end of 2017. An idea came to celebrate Caribbean culture in a fun and cosmopolitan way which would appeal to many. As a founder there was a feeling that as diverse as London is, there was and is something missing from the landscape of celebrating families, friendships, community...essentially we were missing the occupation of black & culture in public spaces across London & the UK.
