2025 AFRAM
AFRAM is one of the largest African American festivals on the East Coast drawing over 100,000 attendees on Juneteenth weekend, according to its website.
For the nearly five decades, the free family-friendly two-day festival produced by the city’s Department of Recreation and Parks, celebrates Black culture with art, food, fashion and businesses.
Community row
Scheduled for noon to 9 p.m. each day, AFRAM is accepting applications for its community row, where nonprofit organizations, community associations, religious groups and city or state agencies can set up informational booths during the festival.
The deadline to apply is May 31.
Last year, Busta Rhymes and Morris Day headlined the event with performances by Mya, Big Daddy Kane, October London, and Alex Isley.
