BlackLuxe is a unique food, beverage and music festival celebrating the excellence of the black culture in a luxury picnic setting. In 2022, the founders of BlackLuxe sought to bring the African American community together to celebrate peace, love and unity. Blackluxe will take place twice a year, during black history month and Juneteenth weekend.
BlackLuxe features various DJs, live bands, stilt walkers, food trucks serving authentic cuisines and tasty drinks, bright and colorful photo installations and décor used for vibrant and beautiful photo opportunities. Patrons are encouraged to dress their best, preferably in colorful “Derby” style picnic attire and fashionable head piece that accentuates the beauty of African American culture.
Unique components of BlackLuxe are that picnic goers can bring their own foods, picnic baskets, picnic blankets and picnic tables, but DRINKS are not allowed. However, the component that takes BlackLuxe to another level is the “BEST PICNIC AREA” competition.
Patrons are encouraged to set up lavish picnic areas in the hopes of winning a large cash prize. The competition is judged secretly. Additionally, attendees can reserve picnic areas and purchase cabanas or VIP areas. Black is love, Black is bold, Black is beautiful, Blackluxe picnic is black excellence.
