Dallas Arboretum’s Fourth Annual Black Heritage Celebration

The Dallas Arboretum’s fourth annual Black Heritage Celebration returns Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19 for a weekend full of fun and cultural experiences for the whole family. As the Arboretum honors the past, enjoys the present, and looks toward the future, diversity is celebrated through various Black cultural experiences. The weekend celebration, presented by Bank of America, showcases the unique talents, art, fashion and businesses from the local Black community who have garnered national and international acclaim. One of which is DeDe McGuire, philanthropist and host of the nationally syndicated talk show “DeDe in the Morning” heard locally on KKDA/K104. She is the 2024 honorary chair of the Black Heritage Celebration. The weekend’s events include chef demonstrations, live entertainment and a curated Black-owned vendor market with more than 40 businesses. The celebration is open to the public and entry fee is included in the general admission to the Dallas Arboretum.
