Nigeria has officially begun its activation for AFROVISION X 2026, a month-long global festival celebrating African and Caribbean creativity, scheduled to hold from June 1 to June 30 across Toronto, Brampton, and Mississauga in Canada.
Led by Nigerian partners Inspiro Productions, the activation phase, which commenced in January 2026, focuses on mobilising Nigerian creatives, engaging stakeholders, and securing partnerships ahead of the Canadian showcase.
The programme covers multiple creative disciplines, including fashion, music, film, theatre, and visual arts.
Organisers say Nigeria, widely recognised as a powerhouse of African creativity, will play a leading role in the festival, which coincides with the global World Cup period, boosting its international reach.
The Nigerian activation will include public and private sector engagements, sponsorship and partnership drives, mobilisation of artists and performers, a Lagos-based international press conference, and official guidelines for participation.
Lead Convener of AFROVISION X 2026, David Bebiem, said the festival aims to showcase African and Caribbean creativity at world-class standards while recognising key individuals and institutions driving the sector’s growth.
CEO of Inspiro Productions, Ayoola Sadare, described AFROVISION X as a global marketplace for Nigerian creativity, emphasising efforts to ensure maximum participation and impact.
The festival in Canada will feature a grand opening ceremony on June 1 with cultural showcases, live performances, fashion previews, film trailers, curated art displays, and the premiere of the AFROVISION X Anthem.
It will also include Fashion Week, Film Festival, arts and performing arts programmes, World Music Week, and will conclude with the AFROVISION X Awards Gala on June 30.
Beyond cultural celebration, organisers say AFROVISION X 2026 is a strategic platform for economic and creative collaboration, promoting trade, tourism, and investment between Nigeria, Africa, the Caribbean, and Canada, while supporting job creation and youth empowerment.
