Event Calendar

Welcome everyone to the Culture Club, one of the most exciting art and culture initiatives in Addis Ababa. For decades these vibrant programmes have been a beacon of creativity and expression.

Today, I am thrilled to introduce you to the Culture Club Events Calendar featuring a rich mosaic of activities that reflect the spirit and dynamism of our beloved city, which is transforming before our very eyes.

 Culture Club is dedicated to honoring the arts, literature, fashion and music, while celebrating our beloved Ethiopian culture and traditions. These elements are vital to our identity as a nation, and they also serve to inspire and unite us. The Ministry of Tourism is truly excited to be a partner in this incredible initiative. Together, we can continue to uplift and showcase the vibrant artistry that’s flourishing in our capital city. Thank you for your commitment to the arts and for joining us on this inspiring journey. Let’s look forward to a successful year ahead, filled with creativity and cultural exploration.

 Thank you!

I am excited to present the eagerly anticipated 2024 to 2025 (2017 EC) cultural calendar for Addis Ababa. This upcoming year promises to be an unforgettable journey for art lovers, culture enthusiasts, families and Addis Ababans alike.

We are thrilled to welcome back some of our beloved events, while also introducing new and exhilarating activities. One highlight will be our 20th Annual Art Sale at the Hilton, showcasing a diverse array of local artworks. Additionally, we’re excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our popular Bag Show at the Sheraton Addis, which will be bigger and better than ever!

Throughout the year, our Culture Club will continue to delve into the rich tapestry of life in Addis through our Culture Talk series, offering guided tours, workshops, and engaging experiences in film, literature, poetry, music, and traditional crafts. Although we will not be hosting Addis Arts Alive this year, we are going to introduce a new interactive cultural activity at the Hyatt Regency, promising an engaging and hands on experience for all.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners, embassies, and their cultural institutes for their unwavering support in making Addis Ababa a vibrant place to live and thrive. We can’t wait to see you at these remarkable events throughout the year.

Thank you!
