The National Black Market: Huntsville event will place specific focus on the Huntsville, AL community with a city wide event filled with over 120 local black-owned businesses and black-led organizations who provide various types of goods & services will be showcased! During this event, attendees will be able to experience live music, family friendly activities (including branded photo ops & games), and plenty of must-have merchandise! To pair with our mission for family & community, The National Black Market & The 5 Points BLOK Festival teams will feature a select set of local black owned food trucks to serve delicious food throughout the day & highlight a community organization called “Unspoken Love” which helps to provide resources to families with children diagnosed with autism.
The primary mission is to place intentional focus on developing ecosystems for black entrepreneurs to translate their products and services to the masses while curating family fun events for communities all around the nation. By doing so, they are causing black culture, values, and art to be made more visible than ever – and giving opportunity for cities all across the country to see, celebrate, and be inspired by genuine black love & empowerment.
The National Black Market began as an organization built to support and develop black-owned businesses, entrepreneurs, leaders, and communities in Nashville and abroad called “The Nashville Black Market”. They provide a platform for the amplification, empowerment, equipping, & promotion of black business, black family, black excellence, black dreams, black art, black sound, and black life! They have been featured on EMMY-nominated TV shows, hosted events with global brands like Pepsi Co., and brought over $3 Million in revenue into black businesses across the U.S.
