All the way along their 10 year journey, Mandela8 have embraced the beautiful green space fo Princes Park for an eclectic mix of events and celebrations.
In 2022, the Queen’s Baton Relay for the Commonwealth Games journeyed down Princes Avenue to Princes Park. Following this, a parade of placards designed by local schoolchildren, in partnership with Writing on the Wall, also travelled the length of the avenue, starting at the Nelson Mandela mural on the wall of the Kuumba Imani Millennium Centre and finishing in the park with a picnic and speeches.
The Mandela Week 2022 events concluded in style with a free family festival in Princes Park that saw artists from South Africa and Liverpool come together for an eclectic celebration.

South Africa’s own BCUC and Nkulee Dube headlined the live music line-up, whilst community workshops led by the likes of world dance charity Movema and drumming troupe Katumba delighted festival-goers of all ages.
Mandela8 has also teamed up with Scouse Flowerhouse to bring a ‘Field Of Hope’ to Princes Park. Find out more by clicking here or on the image below.
