Fashion. Culture. Cuisine. Heritage. On Saturday, October 3, the elegance of Africa will meet the vibrancy of the Caribbean as the Antigua and Barbuda Reparations Support Commission (ABRSC) hosts its highly anticipated Annual Africa-CARICOM Month Gala Dinner at the Cortsland Hotel.
Beginning at 6:30 p.m., the gala promises an elevated cultural experience celebrating the deep and enduring connection between Africa and the Caribbean through food, fashion, music, entertainment and heritage.
Guests will be treated to a specially curated selection of African and Caribbean dishes, bringing together distinctive flavours and culinary traditions from both regions in an all-inclusive dining experience.
Fashion will also take centre stage, with patrons encouraged to step out in their finest African or Caribbean-inspired attire. From bold prints and traditional African designs to contemporary Caribbean elegance, the evening is expected to be as visually striking as it is culturally significant.
And exceptional style will be rewarded.
Amazing prizes will be presented to the Best Dressed Male and Female, while guests will also have opportunities to win exciting door prizes throughout the evening.
The celebration will be complemented by music and entertainment, creating an atmosphere designed to showcase not only the historical ties between Africa and the Caribbean, but the creativity, energy and cultural expressions that continue to unite their people.
The Annual Gala forms part of the Commission’s activities in observance of Africa-CARICOM Month and provides an opportunity to celebrate shared heritage while reinforcing the importance of preserving that history for future generations.
With interest in this year’s gala continuing to build, tickets are going fast, and persons hoping to attend are being encouraged to secure theirs early.
