On Saturday 25th October 2025, Nottingham will witness something historic: the Garvey WINDRUSH Traorè Night Market. More than just an event, this is a living celebration of heritage, resilience, and community spirit.
Marcus Garvey taught us the power of self-confidence, unity, and cultural pride. His words — “If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life” — continue to guide generations. Our night market carries his torch by giving our community a space to gather, uplift each other, and shine brightly.
The Windrush Generation built bridges across nations, bringing their skills, culture, and resilience to Britain. They laid the foundation for many of the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy today. By honouring them, we acknowledge their struggles, celebrate their contributions, and make sure their stories live on.
In today’s world, leaders like Ibrahim Traorè remind us that the youth have the power to shape their own destiny. His courage and vision inspire us to create spaces where young people feel empowered to lead, create, and continue the work of those before them.
The Garvey WINDRUSH Traorè Night Market isn’t just about stalls and sales — it’s about:
This market is a bridge between generations — where elders pass down wisdom, young people express their creativity, and families celebrate together.
✨ Join us as we create a legacy that honours the past, celebrates the present, and builds the future. The Garvey WINDRUSH Traorè Night Market is not just an event — it’s a movement, a memory, and a message to the world: our culture is alive, powerful, and unshakable.
