Charlotte Museum of History, 3500 Shamrock Drive, is presenting its annual African-American Heritage Festival Saturday, February 28, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This is a free event for the community.
This year’s African American Heritage Festival explores the theme Red, White, Blue, and Black, highlighting the often-overlooked stories of Black military service throughout American history. In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States, we’ll examine how African American service members have shaped, and been shaped by, the nation they served.
Join Charlotte Museum of History for a full day of thought-provoking panels, engaging speakers, powerful performances, vibrant art, and local vendors and organizations, all centered around the legacy of Black military contributions.
From the Revolution to present day, reflect on themes of service, sacrifice, and the ongoing pursuit of freedom and equality.
