Scenes from African Heritage Opening Night 2025

We kicked off African Heritage Month 2025 with an unforgettable Opening Night Celebration at Halifax Central Library's Paul O’Regan Hall in late January. Filled with music, joy, and togetherness, it was a night to celebrate Black brilliance.

The evening was filled with powerful performances, heartfelt reflections, and a true sense of community. From the soulful sounds of Cyndi Cain and Rhythm of Africa to the energizing beats of Drummers from Home, the night set the perfect tone for a month of celebration, learning, and connection. Local leaders took the stage to share inspiring words, reminding us of the rich history and enduring legacy of African Nova Scotians.
