About Us
Our Mission
FBX is more than a festival. It is a platform that brings together entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, and community leaders around access, visibility, and economic participation. Each experience is intentionally designed to move beyond celebration toward meaningful engagement. Through curated programming, Village-aligned vendor opportunities, and purpose-driven partnerships, we invest in the economic power and cultural pride of our communities.
What Makes Us Different
The Florida Black Excellence Festival is Jacksonville's premier cultural and economic platform. The FBX Main Event is organized around four experiential Villages — Health, Wealth Creation, Entrepreneurship, and History & Culture — that anchor storytelling, engagement, and participation. Attendees move through signature experiences including the Taste of Excellence culinary showcase, the Top 20 Under 40 recognition breakfast, and the Main Event & Marketplace featuring over 300 curated vendors, corporate entities, and community organizations. Held at The Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center, FBX is where alignment meets impact, and community meets opportunity.
