My Black Family Reunion Celebration was inaugurated in August 1989 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is held annually the third weekend of August in various locations that includes a day-long celebration at Sawyer Point and Yeatman’s Cove. Through the generous support of sponsors, the event is open to the public at no charge and has grown to attracting over 50,000 people of all ages each year.
