London’s vibrant Caribbean and African communities make it a natural starting point for One Drop of Africa—a meeting place where our cultures, faith and shared heritage come together.

But London is only the beginning. Our vision is to grow One Drop of Africa into an international festival series, with Ghana as our intended next destination. We also have our sights set on Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Africa, alongside future editions across Europe, Canada and the USA—with locations and timing to be confirmed.
