June 4 – 5, 2027
Two days where culture, commerce, and community meet and everyone has a seat at the table.
The Florida Black Excellence Festival is Northeast Florida's gathering place for culture, business, and community. For two days each year, we turn the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center into a space where entrepreneurs meet capital, families discover resources, young leaders get recognized, and neighbors from every corner of the region come together. We celebrate Black achievement in business, in health, in the arts, in history. And we build something practical while we do it: connections that last past the weekend, businesses that grow because of what happened here, and a community that knows its own strength. Everyone is welcome. That has always been the point.
