Hampton Roads Black Food Festival in Virginia Beach: What to know
Get your grub on at the Hampton Roads Black Food Festival on Saturday at Mount Trashmore Park in Virginia Beach. Cuisines range from Caribbean to soul food to vegan.
The festival, a production of Black on Black Market in Norfolk, features more than 20 vendors, including Sundayz With Shev, Desmond's Island Soul Grill, and Cups Up, said the market's creator and director, Tree Kelty, in an email.
It's a day to celebrate Black-owned businesses and Black chefs while enjoying music — before the close of African American Music Appreciation Month.
'This isn't just about food — it's about culture, legacy and supporting the people who keep our communities flavorful and full,' Kelty said.
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and it's free and open to the public; VIP tickets, $55.20.
