A Celebration of Black Music returns after 3-year hiatus

The Abercrumbie Group created “A Celebration of Black Music” in 2006 to pay tribute to the contributions of African American musicians during Black Music Month. Since then, the event evolved into a two-night event featuring national and international jazz and R&B artists. After a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, we were absolutely thrilled to bring it back this past weekend.

Thank you to Turfway Park for hosting us in its beautiful new ballroom. Many thanks also to Visit Cincy, Cintas Corporation and all our corporate partners for their support and participation. We could not have done it without you. A special thanks to our performers and vendor partners for their excellent participation.

Lastly, thank you to everyone who came out to help us celebrate. We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you next year.
