The Texas Black Expo announces the in-person return of the annual Summer Celebration, June 22 – 25, with the theme of BOOM: Building Our Own Marketplace. This free, four-day event at the George R. Brown Convention Center marks the organization’s 20th anniversary of serving the small business community in Houston and throughout the state of Texas.

Thousands of attendees are expected to converge on downtown Houston to experience the abundance of activities, workshops, shopping, giveaways and entertainment. The Summer Celebration has something for the entire family including the Kids Adventure Zone with a bouncy house, face painting, games and more, the ever-popular Diva Dialogue panel discussion, and a line-dancing competition for seniors. In addition, the Expo will also include a health and wellness pavilion, a beauty extravaganza, empowerment workshops, a kids and teen talent competition, live entertainment and author showcase. TBE will also honor community leaders at its annual Corporate Awards Luncheon.

“It has been our immense honor and pleasure to have served the people of Texas for 20 years through the Texas Black Expo,” said the organization’s founder Jerome Love. “This event has become a staple in the local and regional business communities, with our vendors coming back year after year. Now that we’re able to gather again in-person since the pandemic, we’re looking forward to continuing to support small business owners, youth and the community at large.”

The Texas Black Expo was founded on the mission of bettering the community and offering an opportunity for African Americans to find success as business leaders. Through its year-round programming, TBE has committed to building resilient businesses in the community, and helping small companies and organizations attain fundamental entrepreneurial structure needed to gain market shares against their competitors. Texas Black Expo helps to build strong families, positively impact businesses and increase the value of economic growth in Texas.
