Windrush Celebrations 2025 | Windrush Day and Beyond
Description
Hey everyone!
Summer’s here and will be gone before we know it, just like the incredible journey our great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents made between 1948 and 1972. As we hit these special commemorative date, let’s all come together as one big family and celebrate the amazing path the Windrush Generation paved for us!
Let’s keep showing off our contributions with tons of laughter, fun, great music, and, of course, delicious food. Bring your family and friends along as we make some joyful noise with Reggae, Lovers Rock, Revival, Soul, Motown, Soca, Calypso, and so much more! πΆπ₯β¨
Many events listed here with dominoes, cards, music, stories, and quizzes, and make new friends alongside old ones. Let’s dig into the food of our heritage and share these precious moments with folks who might not have had the chance to join in before.
Everyone’s welcome to celebrate with us at any of these FREE events!
