AfriFest East launches the  RUN-UP DAY PARTY with a high‑energy, it’s the ultimate day‑into‑sunset experience. This event is crafted for the grown and stylish. This is where the AfriFest Summer Journey begins — premium vibes, elevated culture, and a crowd that knows how to enjoy the day.

Headlining is Baba Harare coming all the way from Zimbabwe. You can expect elite sounds from DJ Bunger, DEE J Adu (Good Vybez), Afronaut DJs, and DJ Muwa, with Yoruba British and MrShowtime turning the hype all the way up. Think sunshine, cocktails, colour, and the kind of atmosphere that makes every moment story‑worthy. Enjoy a time of the red carpet with popular host Nellie.

There’ll be a selection of street food and drinks to keep you fuelled all day and into the night. Come hungry, come ready.

Smart casual or smart dress only. No track bottoms, face caps, hoodies or crocs.
