Summer Centered: A Festival Guide for Black Women Who Love Art, Music, and Good Company

Summer has a way of reminding us to return to what feels good. Slower mornings. Brighter evenings. Music that carries across park lawns. Art that lives off the canvas. Conversations that stretch beyond the edges of the event. For Black women especially, festivals offer more than a calendar check—they offer community, creativity, and the kind of joy that lingers.

From Chicago to New Orleans, here are ten festivals that celebrate Black culture, style, and sound—each one a space where we don’t just show up, we belong.
