Cincinnati’s Black Family Reunion celebrated its 36th year last weekend and offered a variety of benefits, including a job fair, parade, live music, workshops and more.
The 36th Annual Black Family Reunion kicked off a four-day event on Thursday celebrating the historic strengths and values of the Black family and featured free events such as a job fair, parade, concerts, and opportunities to support local Black-owned businesses. The celebration occurred at various locations around Cincinnati, including Fountain Square, Corinthian Baptist Church, Avondale, and Sawyer Point and the Word of Deliverance Church in Forest Park.
On Friday, participants heard from Cincinnati City Manager Sheryl Long and took a historical tour around Black Cincinnati on the Metro.
Saturday and Sunday were two of the biggest days for the event with the parade and live music from dozens of music artists/groups.
Attendees also listened to the sounds of multiple gospel choirs in Sawyer Point Park on the riverfront Sunday morning into the afternoon.
