Windrush Day is a commemoration in the United Kingdom held on 22 June to honour the contributions of migrants to the post-war economy. It celebrates African-Caribbeans who began arriving on the HMT Empire Windrush in 1948,[1] later known as the “Windrush generation”. Windrush Day is not a bank holiday and has grown in popularity since a campaign by Patrick Vernon led to its introduction in 2018.[2]
This event will be hosted on Sunday June 21st 2026 at the Milton Keynes Pillar, Campbell Park , MK9 4AD. Start time 15:30 until 17:30. Come celebrate with poetry, music and presentations.
