After last year’s sold out Homecoming smash, we’re returning to the Jago for our only fete of 2026! Kick off the night with an optional all-levels (beginner to advanced) Haitian Konpa dance class from 9-10:30pm led by seasoned instructor Petite Madame. Then in classic Ariapita style, our selectors will be bringing you warm and joyful energy in the form of Soca, Dancehall, Bouyon, Afrobeats, Reggaeton, Dembow, South Asian riddims and more! **Tickets** – To attend the konpa class you must get a Konpa Class + Party ticket which provides entry to the class then the rest of the party – hurry as these are limited. – With the Konpa Class + Party tickets you must attend the class to have access to the rest of the party afterwards. – All other tickets provide access to the upstairs room from 9pm and to both floors from 10:30pm – in other words just like usual! **Venue and Safer Spaces Policy** The Jago is a historic black-owned community venue located 5 minutes walk from Dalston Junction and Haggerston Windrush line stations.
