Can we take a moment to appreciate this outfit? 😍

When our Carnival Queen stepped out at Cheshire Afro Fest 2026, the compliments started immediately.

But behind every great outfit is someone who spent time, skill, patience, and dedication bringing an idea to life.

A huge shoutout to for creating this beautiful piece and helping make one of the festival’s most memorable looks possible.

The details didn’t go unnoticed.
The effort didn’t go unnoticed.
And neither did the talent. ❤️

Drop a ❤️ in the comments if you loved the Carnival Queen’s outfit’s

I want to take a moment to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who played a part in making AfroFest such a huge success. Our partners CreweCreates , Alpha Omega Securities Ltd Alpha Omega WPS Foundation , digital and marketing Partner SkyKruze Consulting, Crewe Town Council for giving us a massive support from the get go, attendees, performers, Volunteers and the amazing team working tirelessly behind the scenes. Your energy, passion, and support brought this vision to life in the most beautiful way.

AfroFest is more than just an event to me. It is the culmination of everything I am deeply passionate about; embracing diversity, celebrating cultural differences, and creating spaces where people from all backgrounds can come together, connect, learn, and feel seen. Seeing the joy, unity, music, fashion, food, and culture all in one place was truly unforgettable.

To everyone who showed up and helped create such an incredible atmosphere; thank you for believing in the vision and making AfroFest a celebration to remember.

The team and I are already planning for AfroFest 2027, and trust me, we’re coming back with an even bigger and better experience!

If you were at Cheshire Afro Fest on Saturday, chances are you remember the Ohafia War Dancers.🔥

The energy.
The rhythm.
The powerful display of culture and tradition.

It was one of those moments that made people stop, watch, record videos, and truly take it all in.

What many people may not know is that this performance was made possible through the support of Absolute Recruitment UK Ltd

Community events like Cheshire Afro Fest don’t happen by accident. Behind every performance, activity, and experience are organisations and people who choose to support the vision and help bring it to life.

So today, we’re shining a spotlight on Absolute Recruitment UK Ltd for helping us bring the Ohafia War Dancers to Cheshire Afro Fest 2026.

Thank you for being part of something that brought people together, celebrated culture, and created lasting memories for so many.

If you attended the festival, what was your favourite moment from the day? We’d love to hear it in the comments.
