Blockobana

Blockobana, the sibing event to Blockorama is a day music and arts festival where LGBTQ African, Black and Caribbean people celebrate our culture free from homophobia, transphobia and anti-black racism. The first Blockobana took place in 2010 and has been been the Closing party of Toronto Black Pride Weekend since 2018.

This year, Blockobana will NOT be returning to our previous venue. We are working Day and Night to get into a downtown park.

The event is taking place August 2nd, 12pm-11pm.
