Swahili Week

Swahili Week is a vibrant annual celebration that offers a deep dive into the rich tapestry of Swahili culture. Originally known as Swahili Community Day, this cherished event has evolved into a week-long extravaganza, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the captivating world of Swahili traditions.

In 2023, we proudly expanded our Swahili Community Day to provide an entire week of cultural exploration, allowing people of all backgrounds to connect with the heart and soul of the Swahili culture. Each day offers a new facet of this enchanting world, including language, music, dance, and, of course, mouthwatering cuisine.

Swahili Week has found its home during the first week of July, a perfect time to celebrate and embrace the warmth of Swahili culture. This annual event promises a continuous journey of cultural enlightenment and discovery, fostering connections, understanding, and appreciation for Swahili heritage.

Swahili Week invites everyone, from all walks of life, to join in this celebration. Whether you’re looking to explore the intricacies of the Swahili language, lose yourself in the rhythms of Swahili music, dance to the beats of Swahili traditions, or savor the flavors of Swahili cuisine, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

We welcome you to mark your calendar and be part of the annual Swahili Week, where cultural enrichment, shared experiences, and the joy of discovery await. Together, we’ll celebrate the essence of Swahili culture and create lasting memories during this spectacular week-long event.
