A carnival with a traditional dancing troupe, DJs playing afrobeats, and jerk chicken stalls will take place at Fellowship Square today.
The event which starts at 12pm and ends at 8pm, will feature a traditional carnival dancing troupe who will groove to soca music, and Uzambezi Arts, a Southern African multi-disciplinary arts ensemble who specialise in songs, dances, drumming and story-telling will entertain festival goers.

Fans of R&B, hip-hop, afrobeats, house, bashment and amapiano will be well served by Perfect Gents Ent, a duo of DJ Data and MC Spice.
Aside from music, guests will be served a huge variety of food and drink stalls, from jerk chicken to tacos to sweet treats.
