About this Event

Welcome to the 9th Annual BLACK EXCELLENCE WKND!

Looking good & feeling good is the motto!

Join us in the "Queen City", Cincinnati, Ohio... For a weekend to celebrate black excellence in all its forms. This fun filled weekend features regionally recognized local artists (bands/djs) & three dope venues to party!

ALL ABOARD!!! Of course, the heavily anticipated boat ride is what everyone is waiting for... But if you ask me, the best part of the weekend is the people!!! Beautiful people from all across the midwest (Dayton, Columbus, Indianapolis, Lexington, Louisville, & even a few fold from Nashville) converge on Cincy grounds to kick it & network with like minded grown folk!

Portion of the proceeds to go towards charity.
