the Culture and Commerce Market is back!

This year, we’ve reimagined the event to create something truly special, a Black History Month celebration that brings together culture, commerce, and community in a powerful way. Our goal is to curate an immersive cultural experience that uplifts Black brilliance while supporting Black-owned businesses. 

We can’t wait to see you at the Culture and Commerce Market—where culture thrives and commerce flourishes

Culture + Commerce Market – Vendor Capacity Reached

Thank you so much for your interest in being part of this year’s Culture + Commerce Market. We are incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm, support, and community spirit that local businesses continue to bring to this event.

At this time, vendor capacity for the 2026 Culture + Commerce Market has been reached, and we are unable to accept additional vendors. If space becomes available, we will share an update right away.

While we’re unable to include additional vendors for this event, we would love to consider your business for our Annual Homecoming Celebration, happening the second weekend in August. This celebration welcomes over 5,000 attendees and offers an exciting opportunity to connect with the community and showcase your products. More details will be shared as we get closer to the event.

 

Thank you again for your interest and for your continued support of our programs and community-centered events.

  • The new name, Culture and Commerce Market, reflects our commitment to celebrating the rich cultural heritage of our community while fostering economic empowerment and sustainable growth. It captures the essence of what makes this marketplace so special—a dynamic space where creativity, culture, and commerce intersect.
