Black on the Block® is a monthly vendor fair and platform where Black-owned businesses flourish. We champion entrepreneurs who are actively scaling their brands, pairing curated marketplaces with cultural activations that drive real revenue and visibility. Each event connects small businesses with thousands of attendees and sustained reach through celebrity and influencer engagement, press coverage, and social channels. We also serve as a gateway to growth resources, including partnerships and access-to-capital opportunities.Attendees shop a wide range of Black-owned goods and services, from apparel (including AR-enhanced fashion), jewelry, skincare, home décor, and art to gaming, plants, books, and wellness and professional services.Founded in June 2021, Black on the Block has grown into one of largest Black-owned markets across the nation.
