Be there as we open the 17th Annual Somali Week Festival.

Join a vibrant conversation featuring Warda Mohamed (filmmaker), Aar Maanta (musician), Abdirahman Nasri (singer/composer), and Dr. Christina Woolner (academic/author), hosted by barrister and author Hashi Mohamed. This special evening launches our 2025 theme — Resonate! Sounds of the Past, Voices of the Future — exploring how Somali music, poetry, and storytelling continue to shape the future. Expect live performance, bold ideas, and a warm welcome as we celebrate Somali creativity across generations.

Book early — this is the event that sets the tone for the entire festival.
