Celebrate African American Heritage in Raleigh | Fayetteville News

Get ready to dance, drum, and celebrate heritage at Raleigh’s 17th Annual African American Cultural Festival—free, family-friendly, and packed with soul, art, and community vibes on Fayetteville Street this Labor Day weekend. Kick off Saturday with a wild procession featuring African dance, giant puppets, and stilt walkers—and join a hands-on workshop to learn the moves before the parade. Kids can dive into stories with Black authors at the City Museum, while Sunday brings an outdoor worship experience followed by two stages of music, from Southern Soul to powerful community talks. Running both days until 10 PM, this beloved festival is more than just a celebration—it’s a living tribute to African American culture, open to everyone.
