The theme "Celebrating Our Sisters" emphasizes black women's vital role in shaping history, inspiring change, and building communities.

Black-led organisations from across the city have come together, led by The United Voice of African Associations (TUVAA), to bring forth this vibrant celebration of city’s African, Caribbean and Black British communities. The event features street art, poetry, music, food, fashion, and businesses. Solent hosts a careers and Higher Education stand with the Southampton City Council Employment and Skills Team.
