Afrocan Days

  • Free
  • Music

Another public holiday, another Afro-influenced house music day party. Afrocan Days returns to your favourite inner city outdoor space for an all-day dance for the whole family, with special guest Zepherin Saint.

A fixture on the international house scene with Tribe Records, Zepherin now calls Melbourne home, and Whitehart are thrilled to have him back on the Afrocan stage for the first time since 2019. Expect a journey through Afro, deep and soulful house, amapiano, gqom and 3-step from Chris NG, Yenzi, Datboy, Jimmy James and Neo.

Join a free Afro house dance class with Ama Ryllis (registration required), tuck into gourmet South African BBQ from Shisanyama Kings, and browse market stalls from Haruka The Alchemist, Threads of Ghana and Afrika I See.

It’s a family affair and everyone’s welcome. Come eat, drink and dance.
