Where Culture, Community, and Commerce Flow Together

The Roots & Rivers Festival is a dynamic celebration of Black culture, creativity, and entrepreneurship, held annually in Bluffton, South Carolina. This vibrant community event brings together local families, businesses, artists, and changemakers for a day of music, food, fellowship, and empowerment.

Hosted by BlacQuity, the festival showcases the talents and products of Black-owned businesses through a bustling vendor market, while offering live entertainment, a family-friendly Kid Zone, cultural experiences, and inspiring stories of resilience and innovation.

Set against the scenic backdrop of Oyster Factory Park, this year's festival takes place on Saturday, and features performances by Deas Guyz and other local talents. With a cowboy-inspired theme and a $15 ticket, attendees can expect a unique blend of Southern heritage and forward-looking community spirit.

Whether you're shopping, networking, or simply enjoying the vibes, the Roots & Rivers Festival is where the past, present, and future of Black excellence converge.
