About World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture

World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture is marked on 24 January each year. It’s one of UNESCO’s international days listed on Wikipedia.

In 2027 it falls on a Sunday; in 2028 it’s on Monday 24 January, and in 2029 on Wednesday 24 January. This time it falls at the weekend; some countries move the day off to a weekday when that happens. Also in January 2027: Tu BiShvat (23 Jan), International Day of Education (24 Jan) and Burns Night (25 Jan). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
