About

In celebration of Black History Month, this year, Progressive Talent CIC  is proud to present Fusion Fest 2024, an immersive cultural event that will take place on Sunday 27 October 2024 at Pontefract Town Hall.  This event brings together the richness of Black culture through a unique fusion of music, food, dance, and art, offering attendees an experience that is both entertaining and educational.

Event highlights include:

• Culinary experiences featuring diverse dishes from Africa and the Caribbean.


• Entertaining  dance sessions where attendees can take part and join in the fun.

Lucy Ndlovu, Director of Progressive Talent CIC  said: “This is an exciting time for us as we join to celebrate a year long programme of culture and the rich heritage of Wakefield district. This year’s  Black History  Month theme is Reclaiming Narratives, and we wanted to honour our culture and showcase our diversity in Wakefield and beyond. Fusion Fest is about celebrating the contributions of Black culture to our society. We’ve curated an event that not only showcases the talents of Black artists, chefs, and performers but also invites the community to engage, learn, and celebrate together.”
