💚 📸Camden's Homecoming 2026: An unforgettable celebration of our Windrush Generation.

THANK YOU! ❤️💛💚To every performer, artist, DJ, stall-holder, workshop leader, volunteer, community partner, food vendor and everyone who came along to celebrate.

We opened the day with a special moment as the and Councillor Sabrina Francis unveiled Kentish Town artist Matt Small’s incredible Windrush mural on the side of Talacre Sports Centre - a powerful piece of storytelling created with and inspired by the community. 🎨❤️

From the moment the celebration began, the atmosphere was joyous. Generations came together, old friends reunited, families danced and memories were made.

A huge highlight was our host leading Camden’s biggest ever Candy Dance — bringing everyone together for a moment of pure joy, energy and celebration. 💃🏾✨

The stage was packed with incredible talent — from the high-energy moves of SWEATERGY®, to Itch Radio’s Youth DJ Showcase with Michaela Kay and Baby Cey, giving the next generation of DJs and broadcasters a platform to shine through performances, interviews and storytelling.

We loved seeing DJ Boosie from The Apex Project back with us again, continuing to grow his fantastic skills - alongside unforgettable performances from Wookie, Tomorrow’s Warriors’ Nu Establishment, Paulette Tajah and DJ Matt White.

With carnival creativity, workshops, sports, food, community stalls and so many smiling faces across the park - it was a true celebration of Camden’s culture and community spirit.

The Windrush generation helped shape the Camden we know and love today. This was our chance to honour their legacy and celebrate the people, stories and culture that continue to inspire us ❤️💛💚
