EbonyFest: A Celebration of Black Joy

Presented by Ebony 

EbonyFest is an evening dedicated to celebrating Black creativity, artistry, sensuality, and joy within the kink community.

EbonyFest is a celebration of Black creativity through kink, performance, artistry, and community. It's to create a space where Black voices are centered, celebrated, and supported. Whether through burlesque, rope, music, impact, conversation, or simply being present, EbonyFest is about making room for us to exist fully and authentically.

Everyone is welcome to attend with respect for the purpose of the event. While the space centers Black experiences, we invite all who wish to celebrate, learn, and help cultivate a culture of care, consent, and community.

Come experience an evening of performance, connection, creativity, and celebration.
