Sankofa Day (SankofaFest 2026)
Description
SankofaFest returns to Sankofa Square for a three-day cultural experience running August 21–23, 2026, with Sankofa Day on August 23 as its emotional and reflective centrepiece. Set in the heart of Toronto, the festival transforms the square into a living space of memory, art, and community healing inspired by UNESCO’s International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. Across the weekend, visitors can experience live performances, storytelling, film, art installations, and community-led activations bringing together diverse voices. The atmosphere blends reflection with creativity, offering moments to learn, connect, and honour resilience while engaging with powerful shared histories. #gozeeit #thingstodo #thingstodointoronto #toronto #sankofafest #culturalfestival #freethingsto #downtowntoronto #communityevents #artandculture
