African events in Townsville

Townsville's African community grew through the humanitarian intake and stayed - Sudanese, Liberian, Burundian and Sierra Leonean families settled through Vincent, Heatley and Kirwan. The Townsville Intercultural Centre coordinates African Day celebrations every May at Riverway, weekend Pan-African Gospel services through Garbutt churches, and Sudanese wedding receptions at the Townsville Stadium function rooms. Nigerian Owambe nights at the Brewery and the Mariners Bar. South African braais along Rowes Bay through the dry. Ethiopian coffee ceremonies through community spaces on Flinders Street. The James Cook University African Students Society runs cultural nights through every semester. The dry-season calendar packs tight - May to October is when Townsville's African events all happen. EventLinqs is built for Townsville African organisers running events that anchor a community in tropical north Queensland.
