Tampa Bay Black Heritage Music Festival 2026

101.5 The Vibe Is Your BIG Ticket Connect to the Tampa Bay Black Heritage Festival!

Tampa Bay… we OUTSIDE!

101.5 The Vibe is bringing you straight to one of the biggest cultural celebrations of the year — the 26th Annual Tampa Bay Black Heritage Festival, powered by Publix, in partnership with the City of Tampa and Hillsborough County. Also sponsored by GTE Financial

It all goes down April 25th and 26th at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, with gates opening at noon both days.

This is more than just a festival — it’s a full weekend of music, culture, food, and community right in the heart of Tampa Bay.

Saturday, we’re bringing the FUNK with Rick James’ Stone City Band, Tina P & Friends, and more — high-energy performances that will have the whole park moving.

Then Sunday, we vibe out smooth with Neo Soul, Jazz, and Gospel featuring Stokley, Althea Rene, and more incredible artists to close out the weekend.

And it’s not just about the music — enjoy amazing food vendors, shop local businesses, and take advantage of FREE health screenings for the community.
