Join us at our Schomburg Centennial Festival for a celebration of the African Diaspora through the power of literature, literacy, and community! We convene communities of book lovers to interact with their favorite authors and comic book creators on 135th Street between Malcolm X and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevards in Harlem, New York.
The Schomburg Centennial Festival will take place rain or shine on Saturday, June 13, starting at 11 AM.
The day begins with an opening cultural grounding and a keynote conversation. We continue with book talks and workshops, and more. A fan favorite from our Black Comic Book Festival, the Very Black Cosplay Showcase brings characters to life!
All day you can take part in readings, panel discussions, workshops, photo activations, bookish marketplace, mobile library, and more. We will close the day with musical performances and an old-school block party. Last year we celebrated with DJ D-Nice, Slick Rick and The Soapbox Presents. Stay tuned for our 2026 musical performance announcement!
