The Black Business Holiday Market at the Central Park Market on Black Friday was a vibrant celebration of community, creativity, and culture. The air buzzed with the thrill of holiday shopping—but with a twist: every purchase supported Black-owned businesses and told a story.

Vendors showcased their products on tables, offering everything from handcrafted jewelry and fashion accessories to artisanal beauty items, sweet treats, books, and gifts with heart. Attendees moved through the market, pausing to chat, sample goodies, and discover treasures that felt truly unique.

Crafting was for everyone—from kids to adults—adding color, creativity, and playful energy throughout the day. Photo-worthy moments popped up at every turn, capturing smiles, laughter, and the joy of connection.

The market perfectly captured the spirit of Black Friday—finding the perfect gift, supporting local vendors, and celebrating community and culture—all in one festive, joyful day.

Hosted by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. — Mu Omega Omega Chapter, the event was more than a market; it was a full-hearted holiday celebration.
