CELEBRATE UNITY AND LIBERATION AT BOSS’ BLACK AUGUST BLOCK PARTY

The BLACK AUGUST BLOCK PARTY is a free, family-friendly, celebratory event that brings together artists, service providers, and change-makers to commemorate the countless organizers, activists, and freedom fighters who have sacrificed so much in the struggle for Black liberation. 

With the theme of “UNITY,” this year’s event aims to inspire solidarity and collective action in our ongoing fight for social justice.

Attendees can expect an exhilarating lineup of live performances, captivating art installations, delicious food from local vendors, and a Black Market showcasing the talent and creativity of Black entrepreneurs. The event will also feature resource booths providing information on crucial community services and opportunities for engagement.
