Greetings,

Welcome to BlackBizFest, an annual celebration of culture, business, and entertainment in the vibrant heart of America—Kansas City. Known for its rich heritage and dynamic community, Kansas City has become a beloved destination. With highlights like the historic triumphs of the Kansas City Chiefs, world-renowned BBQ, the enchanting Historic 18 & Vine Jazz District, captivating fountains, diverse museums, picturesque parks, impressive sports venues, and delightful weather, Kansas City sets the perfect stage for BlackBizFest.

BlackBizFest's mission is to empower the Kansas City community through the celebration of African American culture, art, and economic empowerment. This festival is a beacon of unity and progress, creating a space where diversity thrives, businesses flourish, and the rich legacy of African Americans is honored. Our commitment to collaboration, inclusivity, and sustainable growth aims to benefit everyone in Kansas City.

Throughout the week, BlackBizFest transforms the city into a hub of inspiration and opportunity for African American business owners. Attendees can explore innovative resources, engage with impactful speakers, forge life-changing connections, and immerse themselves in a supportive community of like-minded individuals.

Our festival offers more than just theoretical support; we provide tangible guidance, mentorship, and inclusive spaces for Black business owners. We actively uplift local Black businesses through intentional economic backing.

Beyond business, BlackBizFest features a vibrant array of cultural events, including performances by artists, speakers, pioneers, poets, and craftspeople. The festival offers educational activities for all ages, financial and business seminars, technology showcases, African-inspired goods, and delectable ethnic cuisine. These elements create a rich, exciting, and family-friendly atmosphere.

The week culminates in signature events—the Kansas City Black Expo and the Black Ball & Honors—at the prestigious Kansas City Convention Center.
