KIGALI · Culture
The Africa Fintech Summit is listed by most sources for 18 to 20 November, and gospel singer Richard Nick Ngendahayo returns to BK Arena on Saturday 28 November.
KIGALI — This is your guide to things to do in Kigali in November 2026. We list only events we could confirm on an organiser, ticketing or news page, so the list is short.
Prices in Rwandan francs (RWF) convert at about 1,471 to the dollar (market-data provider RT, 1 November), so RWF10,000 is roughly US$6.80. Times and prices can change, so check the seller’s page before you go.
A Fintech Summit and a Gospel Homecoming
Wednesday 18 to Friday 20 November
Africa Fintech Summit Kigali 2026
Kigali, Rwanda · Pass prices on the organiser’s registration page
The Africa Fintech Summit, an international conference series on African financial technology, lists Kigali as its 2026 host on its registration page. The programme covers financial inclusion, cross-border payments, artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure and regulation. The startup-events site au-startups gives 19 to 20 November instead, while the other listings we found say 18 to 20 November.
Saturday 28 November
Ni We Healing Concert, Edition 2
BK Arena, Kigali (Rwanda’s main indoor arena, about 10,000 seats) · Price not yet published · Tickets are often sold on ticqet.rw, a Rwandan ticketing site
Gospel singer Richard Nick Ngendahayo performs a second Kigali concert after his first on 29 November 2025, which ended a 17-year absence from Rwanda. The date and venue come from a report by UMUSEKE, a Rwandan news outlet. The start time and ticket prices have not been announced in what we found.
Planning Your Kigali November
Afternoon showers are common in Kigali in November, so allow extra time for travel. Name the venue to a moto-taxi (motorbike taxi) or ride-hailing driver, as BK Arena and the Convention Centre are both well known.
Not confirmed: we could not confirm the Convention Centre as the summit venue on the organiser’s pages, the summit’s edition number, the summit’s pass prices, or any ticket price for the 28 November concert. We also found no Rwandan public holiday in November 2026 on an official page, and no other November event we could verify, so this guide lists only two.
