    8th Annual Charlotte African-American Festival
    DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED

    Dear Community Friend,

    As the Coronavirus situation continues to evolve, the safety and well-being of all participants of the Charlotte African - American Festival is top priority. Nothing is more important than protecting the people of Charlotte and supporting the efforts to prevent further spread of Coronavirus. 


    We have made the decision to postpone the event that was scheduled for April 4, 2020 at Spirit Square.


    We deeply appreciate the passion and commitment each of you demonstrate for the Charlotte African-American Festival, and we look forward to hosting the festival as soon as possible.

    While the number of cases of Coronavirus in Mecklenburg County is currently unknown, we believe acting with caution is the right thing to do. 

    Dianna Davis, President
