The Ohio Black Expo
The Ohio Black Expo is a statewide non-profit organization.
Purpose
We are committed to enhancing the lives, success, and well-being of Black residents in Ohio and beyond. We drive change and foster growth through initiatives that address critical disparities in areas such as health, education, senior support, business, technology, and youth engagement.
Our signature event, the Ohio Black Expo: Riverfront Culture Fest, takes place every Memorial Day Weekend, to empower and unite Ohio’s 1.7 million Black residents and those beyond. This annual gathering welcomes guests from across the nation to engage in solution-focused workshops, build connections at networking events, and celebrate the richness of Black culture. With amazing food, the arts, and an unforgettable atmosphere, there’s no other place to be Memorial Day Weekend!
