About this Event

[THIS IS VENDOR REGISTRATION ONLY]

Support Black Businesses at the 2026 Expo!

Did you know that only 4% of Black American businesses survive the startup stage, even though 20% start businesses? Our annual expo is here to change that!

If you’re a local Black-owned business, this event is tailored just for you! Presented by Black Owned NWA in collaboration with Blackground Agency, this expo will take place at the Fayetteville Town Center during Black History Month.

This is a family-friendly event where the community can shop and support small businesses in a vibrant, nighttime setting.
