localevents
A ten-day cultural event that features speakers, musicians, artists,
poets and craftspeople locally and nationally. The festival traditionally
begins the week-end before and concludes the week-end after the Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday to promote diversity and cultural sensitivity.
Each day of this ten-day experience provides both children and
adults with an opportunity to increase their awareness of African and
African-American culture and history.
Mission: The purpose of the Tampa Bay Black Heritage Festival,
Inc. is to offer the community of Tampa Bay a unique blend of African
and African American art, culture and history, therefore serving as a
conduit for promoting and perpetuating the art, culture and history of
African Americans and African people for the benefit of all Tampa Bay
residents and tourists to the Tampa Bay area. It exists to support the
culturally rich and diverse Tampa Bay community by ensuring all events
are inclusive of the entire community.
Board Members: The TBBHF board consists of individuals from
the Tampa Bay community who participate in organizing the festival
and other events throughout the year serving the Tampa Bay community.
Annual Festival: The Tampa Bay Black Heritage Festival (TBBHF)
is Southwest Florida’s premier cultural event organized by the Tampa
Bay Black Heritage Festival, a 501 c3, Florida non-profit corporation.
