BLACK ARTS FESTIVAL
An Annual Cultural Celebration
Black Arts Festical (BAF) is a public arts and cultural festival founded and run by the Black Arts & Cultural Center of Kalamazoo. Since 1986, the festival has hosted artists from across the globe and brought hundreds of businesses to the downtown area — creating a cultural destination in our community.
Throughout the festival, BAF showcased the artists’ talents alongside musicians, local artists and many other community organizations.
