Welcome to South Africa
Makena House opens with an all-day celebration of South African flavor, creativity, and rhythm. From a sun-drenched braai & pool party to elegant sundowners & jazz dinner, the day ends with an evening performance that feels intimate, stylish, and unmistakably local.

Art of Africa
A soulful exploration of creativity and connection. The day brings together artists, curators, and collectors for intimate conversation, live creation, and an atmospheric nighttime gallery experience. The vibe is warm, visual, and conversational — creativity as community.

Diaspora Sounds
A celebration of rhythm and community — from soulful brunch beats to unreleased listening sessions and a live recording of the first Makena Mixtape. The day ends with a genre-blending showcase led by global collectives.

Cinema Noire
Film meets sound in an elegant, laid-back flow — a stylish brunch with looping visual reels, sunset soundtracks, and a nighttime outdoor short film series under the stars. Less festival, more living-room-meets-loft-theater energy.

Style House
A stylish ode to African design and self-expression — intimate conversations, fittings for custom looks, and a golden-hour fashion presentation that turns the house into a living runway. The night closes with a euphoric afterglow of music and movement.
