A big thank you for your ideas

Updated: 13 November 2023

In the run-up to the event on Trafalgar Square, our City Hall teams had monthly meetings with a community advisory board. Your suggestions were brought to these meetings and were carried out where possible.  They told us they all found this support from Londoners amazing. 

Thank you very much for taking the time to send in suggestions and questions for the new mayoral flagship event Black on the square. The event was very successful.

The beautiful sunny day saw over 15,000 attendees enjoying great food, lovely music and interactive stalls.

What's next?

Black on the Square is scheduled to return in September 2024.  

Planning for next year will commence soon, including advertising for a new creative producer.
