Harlandale ISD’s 2023 Cultural Arts Fair was one of the biggest and best yet! The District Days Cultural Arts Fest is an exciting celebration that honors the rich legacy and cultural contributions of Central Texas’ Black community and provides a gathering place for everyone to enjoy Austin’s unique black arts, music, history, and culture.
Festivities are held each year during Labor day weekend at Huston-Tillotson University, with musical performances from international, national and local acts inspired from Africa and the African Diaspora. Previous performers include Carolyn Blanchard & the Jazz All Stars, Magna Carda, Tobe Nwigwe, Sona Jobarteh and Grammy nominated artist Mali Music. Unlimited food and adult beverages are also provided during the festival.
Thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated the history and culture of Harlandale ISD with us! Thank you to the students, staff and faculty who came together to make it all happen. We are excited for this event for years to come!
