Ohio Black Expo is a statewide non-profit organization committed to enhancing the lives, success, and well-being of African Americans in Ohio. We drive change and foster growth through initiatives that address critical disparities in areas such as health, education, senior support, business, technology, and youth engagement.

Our signature event, the Ohio Black Expo: Riverfront Culture Fest + Convention, takes place every Memorial Day Weekend, to empower and unite Ohio’s 1.7 million Black residents and those beyond. This annual gathering welcomes guests from across the nation to engage in solution-focused workshops, build connections at networking events, and celebrate the richness of Black culture. With food, the arts, and an unforgettable atmosphere, there’s no better place to be!
