Elevating Culture. Uniting Communities.

AFRAM 2025 – Baltimore’s Premier Celebration of Black Excellence

Imagine your business at the heart of one of the East Coast’s largest and most powerful cultural gatherings. Over 150,000 people each day. A 745-acre urban sanctuary. Two unforgettable days of music, food, family, and legacy—this is AFRAM, and this is your moment.

​

AFRAM isn't just a festival—it’s a celebration of resilience, creativity, and community. It’s where Black culture takes center stage, and where local and national brands alike connect with real people in meaningful ways.

​

This year, Dîner en Noir – Baltimore invites Black-owned businesses/brands to be featured in our hospitality tent on Community Row, where we’ll be showcasing products, services, and stories that deserve the spotlight. Whether you're just starting out or scaling up, this is the platform to be seen, heard, and remembered.

​

How It Works: Showcasing Black Excellence at AFRAM 2025​

Dîner en Noir – Baltimore (#DENBaltimore) is proud to host a Hospitality Tent on Community Row at AFRAM 2025—one of the most celebrated cultural festivals on the East Coast. This special section of the festival is reserved for community organizations, religious groups, non-profits, and agencies that are building stronger, more empowered communities.

​

At the heart of our presence is a powerful purpose:
To amplify the voices, products, and services of Black-owned businesses, professionals, and artists, while introducing festivalgoers to the life-changing benefits of Dîner en Noir membership.

We’re not just showing up—we're showing out for the culture and for the community. And we want your business or brand to be part of it.

​

What You’ll Do

You’ll provide us with:

• Business cards, flyers, branded samples, product displays, or marketing materials

• Items for our curated gift bags, given to new DEN members during the festival

 

We’ll take it from there.

Every participating business will be:

• Professionally featured with your story framed and displayed in the tent

• Given a custom QR code linking directly to your website, store, or contact info

• Included in our printed Black Business Directory, distributed to festival guests

 

Maximized Visibility

In addition to foot traffic from the festival’s 150,000+ daily attendees, #DENBaltimore’s street team will be on-site, engaging guests, handing out directories, and strategically driving people back to the Hospitality Tent to discover your brand.

 

Why This Matters

This isn’t just exposure.
It’s representation with intention—an invitation to be seen, supported, and celebrated by thousands who are hungry to support Black-owned businesses just like yours.
