New Zealand Music Month is a time to celebrate homegrown talent.

We have a range of musicians of African descent making waves in our music scene.

This event will be a chance to highlight these artists and their crafts and introduce Tāmaki Makaurau to some up and coming names in the scene.

Market attendees will also get to see traditional dance and performances from various Auckland African cultural groups while also enjoying traditional foods from Ethiopia, Rwanda, Ghana, Burundi, Zambia and Nigeria.

For full performance line up and vendor information, please visit our Facebook event listing.

This event is part of Africa Month 2024, a programme created to celebrate the African diaspora during the month of May in the lead up to 25th May. This date commemorates the foundation of the Organisation of African Unity in 1963. May 25th presents as an opportunity to reflect on the connecting elements of our African countries, tribes and communities. With this programme we also look to call in our diaspora communities to share in the celebration of our heritage cultures.

Proudly supported by Auckland Council and the city centre targeted rate.
