Now in its 39th year, this FREE outdoor festival brings artisans, dancers, musicians and storytellers together to celebrate South Carolina’s black history and culture on the grounds of the Mann-Simons Site in downtown Columbia.

This year’s festival will celebrate Midlands musicians and the lives of some of the region’s most influential musicians, including John Blackwell, who passed away earlier this year. To honor the memory of these legendary artists, the festival will showcase the musical lineage of South Carolina with a headlining performance by international recording artist, Cheri Maree. Additional performers are: Spiritual Gumbo, Jubilee Choirs, Benedict College, Maci Brown, TiffanyJ, Promise Hugee, SaLil Wynette, Zachary Sanders, LaSell Williams, Ancestral Drumming, and DJ Prince Ice
