Negritude Fest is a celebration of Afro-diasporic culture, centering queer and femme voices through art, music, and storytelling.

Building on the legacy of the Negritude movement, this festival is rooted in connection and liberation, creating space for Black joy and innovation.

Leading up to the festival, The Road to Negritude offers a series of community events that deepen our engagement, spark conversation, and build momentum for the main celebration.

Join us as we amplify the contributions of our local Afro-Diasporic community, building a more inclusive and intersectional future, together.
