Annual Picnic and Reunion Festival

Every year during the last week of July, the Society holds a three-day picnic at Seaview Park at the foot of the A. Murray MacKay Bridge, the former location of the community of Africville. On Friday, the celebration typicallykicks off with a dance featuring performances by local talent. On Saturday, there are games for the children and a food court. Sundays are reserved for religious and musical events.

The picnic attracts upwards of 1,000 people, many from the community at large. Many comment on the excellent quality of the food and entertainment. The Society also holds social functions during the year and administers an educational trust, based on the compensation received by the Africville community for its church.

The reunion is held on the last weekend of July from Friday evening to Sunday evening.
