This October, Croydon proudly celebrates Black History Month with a diverse array of events honouring the rich culture, history, and achievements of the black community. From inspiring talks and vibrant performances to art exhibitions, workshops, and family-friendly activities, there’s something for everyone. Join us in commemorating the past, celebrating the present, and building a more inclusive future.
This year, Croydon will celebrate the pride, history, and rich diversity of the Black community. This is reflected in this year’s theme: “Reclaiming Narratives”: To get to a better tomorrow, we can’t just focus on the past.
The past is in the past. We can acknowledge and learn from it, but to improve the future, we need action, not words. We need to come together around a shared common goal to achieve a better world for everyone.
Whether you’re looking to learn, reflect, or simply enjoy, this directory will guide you to the best events happening across Croydon throughout Black History Month 2024. Explore, engage, and be inspired!
