Programme of Gala Africa
Official, Belgium 2027
The evening, act by act — from the champagne reception to the last dance.
Two editions, one gala: Luanda on 7 November 2026 and Brussels on 23 January 2027.
Gala Africa Official takes place on Saturday 23 January 2027 at Martin's Château du Lac in Genval, twenty minutes from Brussels. Doors open at 18:30 and the evening runs until the early hours, welcoming more than 400 guests: entrepreneurs, investors, diplomats, institutional leaders, artists and members of the African diaspora in Europe.
The programme below is designed as one continuous experience. Business and diplomacy come first, over champagne and dinner; culture then takes the stage, with Angolan music, Tchianda dance and a catwalk of African couture. Black tie is required, and every guest is seated — the seating plan is curated so that conversations begin before the first course is served.
