Celebration Weekend 2026
About this Event
Celebration Weekend 2026
Held Down. Leveled Up.
Celebration Weekend is the Black Youth Leadership Project’s annual three-day cultural experience honoring the graduating Class of 2026, the families who supported them, and the fathers, father figures, mentors, coaches, and community leaders who helped guide them along the way.
This is more than a celebration — it is a tribute to the village.
Throughout the weekend, BYLP brings together community, culture, leadership, family engagement, and Black excellence through elevated experiences designed to celebrate the journey, the sacrifice, and the people who stayed solid from the beginning.
From western-inspired elegance and community connection, to family fun and games, to our powerful Black Grad Celebration, each event reflects the spirit of what it means to be held down so our young people can level up.
Celebration Weekend Includes:
- The “Solid From the Jump” Soirée
- “Game Recognize Game” Family Fun Day
- “Now Watch This!” Black Grad Celebration
- Scholarship presentations
- Community recognition awards
- Family engagement experiences
- Food, music, culture, and community connection
Celebration Weekend exists to affirm our young people, honor the people who poured into them, and create moments they will carry with them for a lifetime.
One weekend.
One community.
Limitless impact.
