AfroFuture unveils first-ever major U.S. Culture Calendar
Culture Management Group (CMG), the African-focused media management company that oversees AfroFuture and more, has unveiled its 2025 AfroFuture Culture Calendar on Monday, Jan. 6.
This year’s calendar features AfroFuture’s first-ever major activation in the United States in August (at an unspecified date), underscoring CMG’s commitment to expanding its platform globally and amplifying African excellence worldwide.
The full line-up of events includes AfroFuture’s Culture Beach Jam series, which celebrates the richness of African heritage with immersive experiences, live performances and innovative programming; and the 2025 Basketball Africa League (BAL) Tour, which showcases African excellence in sports and live entertainment.
“We are thrilled to unveil our 2025 AfroFuture Culture Calendar and excited to expand our footprint across the continent. This is a unique opportunity to deepen our connections with the vibrant neighboring communities throughout Africa,” Abdul Karim Abdullah, CEO/co-founder of AfroFuture, said in a press release.
“Our long-anticipated U.S. expansion marks a groundbreaking moment for Culture Management Group, as we continue to deliver on our promise to showcase Africa’s resilience, strength, and unparalleled talent on the global stage. 2025 will be a year of unforgettable experiences, and we can’t wait to share it with the world.”
Akosua Ayim, Director of Operations at AfroFuture, highlighted how the 2025 calendar will continue to push the boundaries of cultural exchange and innovation: “AfroFuture’s legacy has grown into a movement that transcends borders. Our 2025 events are a testament to CMG’s mission to celebrate African talent, inspire innovation, and strengthen connections across the diaspora. This year, the world will see the true magic of Africa in ways they have never seen!”
The calendar also reflects CMG’s ongoing commitment to community impact. The Culture Beach Jam series, which has become a key feature of AfroFuture’s cultural programming, will be held in key locations across Africa and beyond. The series will include stops in Accra, Ghana, Zanzibar, and other exciting destinations. These events will showcase live performances and immersive cultural experiences, allowing attendees to engage directly with African heritage.
In addition to the beach jams, the 2025 AfroFuture calendar includes the Basketball Africa League (BAL) Tour, further cementing the event’s focus on sports and entertainment. The BAL Tour is set to travel across various African countries, providing a platform to celebrate African excellence in sports while offering live entertainment that resonates with fans across the continent.
The events scheduled for 2025 promise to be transformative, not just for the African diaspora, but for global audiences eager to experience the vibrancy and innovation of African culture. AfroFuture’s 2025 culture calendar is a bold statement of African excellence, aiming to redefine how the world engages with the continent’s arts, culture, and creativity.
