Echoes of Africa

A Celebration of Heritage, Innovation, Community and Future.

Echoes of Africa 2026 is more than an event - it's a movement to celebrate, connect, and empower the African Diaspora while helping build a stronger St. Louis. Home to one of the nation's largest Black communities and a growing population of African immigrants from countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, St. Louis continues to thrive through their cultural, economic, and educational contributions.

This event will bring together community leaders, educators, artists, entrepreneurs, professionals, students, families, and policymakers to celebrate the impact and achievements of Africans and the African Diaspora.
