Colorado Black Arts Festival 2026
Join the Colorado Celebration of African American Arts and Culture for the 40th Annual Colorado Black Arts Festival, a vibrant, three-day celebration of African American arts, culture, and community. Enjoy a weekend filled with live music, visual art, cultural storytelling, and delicious food that reflects the rich traditions of the African diaspora. Take time to explore the festival grounds and support over 80 local artists, creatives, and Black-owned businesses in the marketplace. Entertainment will be ongoing across three stages, showcasing everything from traditional African drumming to jazz, hip-hop and R&B.

We are excited to share that the Boogaloo celebration parade will return as part of a traditional piece of the festival. The Children’s Pavilion will offer interactive, family-friendly experiences hosted by the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Downtown Aurora Visual Arts, Art Garage, and more. Relax in the beer garden or cool off with a fresh-squeezed lemonade as you enjoy the festivities from your lawn chair in the heart of City Park.
