Share your ideas to celebrate Black culture and creativity in London
Added by Talk London
Big events have the power to bring communities together. Think of religious or cultural celebrations like Christmas, St George’s Day, Diwali, Eid, St Patrick’s Day, Lunar New Year, Vaisakhi, Black History Month, Chanukah, Pride and UK Black Pride.
This event aims to showcase Black creativity in the capital and offers a platform to new and established Black artists. Called 'Black on the Square', the first event will take place on 2 September 2023.
We’d like to know your best ideas and suggestions for this afternoon of celebration.
Please tell us:
- What you would like to see or do at an annual event celebrating Black culture in London
- Which creatives, artists or organisations would you like to see represented
- What do you think City Hall could do to support Black creativity and culture in London in 2023 and beyond

A big thank you to everyone who shared their ideas here on Talk London.
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.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan was serving the community behind catering stalls, bookshops and community-led organisations.
