The 4th Annual Celebrate Black Austin honors the history, achievements, and labor of Austin’s Black community with a vibrant Block Party Festival featuring DJs, a higher education and career fair, food trucks, a vendor market, and historical walking tours of East Austin. The tour will highlight landmarks and street art of historic significance and amplify the voices and stories of those from the community. The Block Party will be held directly after the walking tours at Kenny Dorham’s Backyard. There will be activities for all ages, so bring the whole crew!
