About Black Pepper

Black Pepper Food and Wine is more than just a festival; it's a movement dedicated to cultivating widespread awareness and encouraging intentional support of Black-owned businesses across all races and ethnicities. Our purpose is rooted in the power of community and collective economics. While the "Black dollar" is often cited as staying within the community for around 6 hours on average, Black Pepper Food and Wine offers a vibrant day where we come together for much longer to actively practice group economics.

Our festival showcases a diverse array of vendors spanning all types of cuisines and businesses. Attendees can immerse themselves in a dynamic atmosphere filled with engaging food and cocktail demonstrations, activations from Black-owned wine and spirit brands, appearances by influential food personalities, exciting competitions, and much more.

Join us at Black Pepper Food and Wine to experience the strength of our interconnected community, foster ambition and self-reliance, and witness firsthand our collective power to support, learn, and advance together.
