21st Annual Baltimore County African American Cultural Festival

From 21st Annual Baltimore County African American Cultural Festival Website:

The BCAACF, Inc. was founded in 1996 by Maryland State Delegate and Speaker Pro-Temp, Adrienne Jones, who envisioned a vibrant festival of the arts and culture in Baltimore County that would celebrate the rich and thriving traditions of the African American community.

Annually, the festival celebrates the rich and thriving traditions of the African American community. Drawing in renowned and local entertainers, small and large businesses, and approximately 50,000 attendees, the festival continues to be a vibrant extravaganza that has become one of Baltimore Countys treasures.

The festival is free, family-oriented and will be held in Towson, MD at Towson Patriot Plaza on September 16, 2017. Lastly, the festival serves as vehicle to showcase Baltimore Countys communities and its residents. It also serves as a means of raising funds to support charitable programs charged to the festival such as scholarships, summer camps, and historical preservation projects. The festival is one of the only festivals in the Mid-Atlantic corridor that does not promote or endorse alcohol or tobacco products.
