The City of Sugar Land invites the community to an inspiring Black History Month Celebration on Saturday, February 22, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Sugar Land Town Square. This event will honor Black culture, creativity, and entrepreneurship through captivating performances, a Black-owned business market, and an exclusive art exhibition.

At the heart of this celebration is a powerful performance by the award-winning contemporary dance company, Urban Souls Dance Company. Known for their compelling storytelling through movement, Urban Souls fosters connection and community by bringing Black narratives to life. Their work prioritizes racial equity, healing, and justice through dance, education, and advocacy.

In addition to the live performance, attendees can explore an all-Black vendor market, featuring a diverse selection of businesses, artisans, artists, authors, bookstores, and food vendors. This marketplace is an opportunity to support local Black entrepreneurs while experiencing the vibrancy of Sugar Land’s creative and business communities.

The event will also showcase an exhibition by Bevin Biggers, Sugar Land’s inaugural Artist in Residence. Biggins’ thought-provoking work explores themes of identity, history, and resilience, providing a unique artistic lens on the Black experience.

The event is free and open to the public.
