FUSION FEST
Bringing the Best-in-Class of Local Talent
FusionFest is poised to shine a spotlight on the amazing talent we have right here in our community. We're excited to hire and highlight local talent and plan to feature a variety of attractions—like a historical walk through Black Pittsburgh, a makers market, a spoken word and author experience, interactive activities for kids, health, wellness & fitness, a stunning art gallery, fashion show and market, eye-catching commissioned art installations... and a day of performances.
DISCOVER AFRICAN HERITAGE
FusionFest will weave the rich history and vibrant traditions of Africa into the fabric of the event, displaying traditional African art, offering workshops on African crafts, and featuring performances that celebrate African folklore and storytelling. This celebration of African heritage underscores its profound impact on black American culture and the global art scene.
