Black Friday just isn’t Black Enough!! Are You Ready!?!?

 

The 2026 Black Business Bazaar is Coming!

 

The first Black Business Bazaar was held in Indianapolis in 2016 and continues to be a popular avenue to bring together community members to celebrate the holiday season while giving back to others and supporting Black Owned Businesses. Held every winter; (like the Black Owned Business Block Party), this event helps us fulfill part of our mission by supporting Black Owned/Black Led agencies that serve underrepresented populations.  As such, we get to offer a Black-owned marketplace featuring 100 vendors, a Black Santa Experience, and so much more, all for the community to patronize where admission is 100% free.

The event not only provides an opportunity to Encourage Black entrepreneurship and economic empowerment, but also health and wellness, and a celebration of all the melanated magic of the holiday season curating wonder in attendees young and old!

 

That’s right, the Black Business Bazaar (B3) is coming to Northwest Middle School on Saturday, November 29th, 2025! If you have any questions regarding registration, you can contact us at in**@**************ep.com.

 

Reserve Your Photos with Santa Today!!

Our Black Santa Experience has been a yearly component of our Black Business Bazaar since its inception. Intentionally designed to allow patrons and their children an opportunity to meet and engage with a Jolly Old Elf who looks like them! This is especially near and dear to us as there are not many opportunities for children of color to enjoy the magic of the holiday season in a way that reflects their lived experiences. The Black Business Bazaar is all about creating spaces where children of color can enjoy the magic of the holiday season in a way that reflects their lived experiences.
