Black History Month Celebration

Due to forecasted rain, the event will now take place inside Chase Center's West Lobby.

Join us in Thrive City for our annual Black History Month Celebration presented by Waymo on Monday, February 19th! Our big headliner this year is none other than the legendary Rhymefest! Enjoy additional live entertainment from Queen Iminah & AAFE Kids and Diamano Coura West African Dance Company. Don’t miss out on our arts & crafts station and the free culinary delights that will be offered. RSVP while supplies last.

In addition, stop by the Black History 101 Mobile Museum’s immersive Music of the Movement exhibit which delves into the powerful impact of music on the social, cultural, and political movements of the Black experience in America. The exhibit showcases the rich history and legacy of Black music, highlighting the resilience and contributions of Black people in the face of racial discrimination.

The exhibit features a range of cultural and historical artifacts that celebrate the important role that Black music has played in shaping American culture and society. These artifacts include vinyl records, press photos, flyers, clothing items, contracts other ephemera from iconic artists who have shaped popular culture around the world.

Eventbrite registration is highly recommended and will receive priority access to the event. If the event is sold out, limited walkup registrations may be available on a first-come, first-served basis day of the event.
