People from all over the Greater Houston area will have the opportunity to experience business, networking, and cultural programming throughout the weekend that highlights and celebrate Houston’s vibrant African American community and Black culture.

The Black Heritage Fest will also honor local giants, feature local artists, guest speakers, exhibits, poets, crafts people and will culminate with legends of the music industry, such as Eric Benet and Elle Varner.
