The Tampa Bay Black Heritage Festival (TBBHF) is a ten-day cultural event that features speakers, musicians, artists, poets and craftspeople locally and nationally.
The festival begins the week-end before and ends the week-end after the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday to promote diversity and cultural sensitivity. Activities are geared towards children and adults.
Each day of this ten-day experience provides all attendees with an opportunity to increase their awareness of African and African-American culture and history. This festival will celebrate its ten year anniversary this year and will run January 12-21, 2012.
The festival has two main components: (1) Cultural Enrichment activities and (2) a 2-day Street Festival.
The Cultural Enrichment Activities include: (a) A Living History -- this event is comprised of several media's, film, exhibit and person(s) who were directly involved in a historically significant event in the history of the United States (b) social empowerment speakers who have had experience on the world stage dealing with issues important to the African Diaspora and (c) events that highlight diversity in entertainment that include music, spoken word, art and more.
