About the Event
🎉 Exciting News! Black History Gala/Festival will be on April 11th
We are thrilled to announce that our Black History Gala will take place this April 11, 2025, under the inspiring theme "One Love, One Heart"!
By hosting this gala in April, we are taking intentional steps to expand the celebration of Black History Month beyond February—a month far too short to contain all the incredible events and activities that honor our rich history and contributions.
Seeing the community come together to celebrate Black history beyond February sends a powerful and undeniable message. It shows that people truly understand that Black history is not confined to one month but is an integral part of our collective story all year round. When individuals engage and participate outside of the designated month, it reflects a deep commitment to honouring Black contributions, culture, and excellence as an ongoing priority rather than a momentary observance.
