African events in Newcastle

Newcastle's African community is anchored in Hamilton, Mayfield, and Wallsend, with Sudanese, South Sudanese, Liberian and Congolese families building community through the Multicultural Neighbourhood Centre and the Hunter African Communities Council. Independence Day events at the Newcastle City Hall, Pan-African Gospel Sundays in Mayfield, Nigerian Owambe celebrations at the Wests City function rooms. The University of Newcastle African Students Society runs Afrobeats nights at Lass O'Gowrie and the Cambridge that pull the wider Hunter region in. South African braais along Nobbys Beach in summer, Ethiopian coffee ceremonies through community halls in Charlestown. Newcastle's African scene is still building, and the welcome is wide. EventLinqs is built for Newcastle African organisers running events that anchor a growing community in the steel river city.
