About

The nation’s largest celebration of African diasporic dance and music returns for the 49th year this Memorial Day Weekend. We’re packing the long weekend with a rich lineup of exhilarating creative offerings: dance, music, film, visual art—and, of course, plenty of food, crafts, and fashion at the outdoor bazaar. Immerse your senses in four days of inspiring sights, smells, sounds and tastes at BAM’s iconic summer kick-off. Artistic Director Abdel R. Salaam.
