May 29–31
Music & Celebration
Main Stage
The heartbeat of Legacy Festival. A marquee musical performance honoring Black artistry, resilience, and joy. Past performers have included nationally recognized acts spanning R&B, hip-hop, gospel, and jazz. Stay tuned for our 2026 headliner announcement.
Food, Art & Culture
African Street Festival
The sights, sounds, and flavors of the diaspora come alive on Greenwood Avenue. Dozens of food trucks, artisan vendors, and craftspeople create a vibrant marketplace that celebrates Black entrepreneurship and culinary tradition. From jerk chicken to jollof, funnel cakes to fresh lemonade — there is something for everyone.
Knowledge & Justice
Symposium
A series of powerful panels and discussions on racial justice, reparations, and the unfinished work of reconciliation. Scholars, activists, survivors, and descendants gather to examine the past and chart a path forward. The symposium is free and open to all — because truth-telling is a community responsibility.
Spirit & Solidarity
Community Happenings
Beyond the main events, Legacy Festival is woven through with community-led gatherings. These moments remind us that legacy is lived, not just commemorated.
Be Part of the Legacy
The festival is powered by people like you. Lend your hands, set up shop, or fuel the mission — every contribution counts.
