We invite you to join us for our fifth annual Heritage Fest. The theme is African Americans and the Arts, spanning the many impacts Black Americans have had on visual arts, music, cultural movements and more.

Join us for an afternoon of free, fun-filled activities for the entire family. Enjoy performances by The W's featuring Johnny James Dr. J. and Live in Color! Sample delicious food from a variety of vendors and jam to beats pumping onto the dance floor by DJ Cardi.

This FREE community event was designed to spotlight, celebrate and amplify Pan-African artists in our community.
