The Black Heritage Festival was Founded by the late Dr. Willie Jay Thompson, and Phillip Harvey in 1985. This Festival was the only kind on the Treasure Coast at that time. This Festival opened the doors for many more to come. It was the first festival for the East Stuart Community to show their talents in dance routines, singing, freestyle rap, and break dancing.

For the last 4years, Aaces has partnered with the City of Stuart to continue the History and legacy of this iconic event, with different types of ethnic food vendors, merchandise vendors, live bands, live performances, locals Dj's, local artists in categories such as rap, dance, poetry, and a fashion show from all over Florida.

The annual Black Heritage Festival is celebrated during Black History Month always on the 3rd Saturday of February.

 Juneteenth (short for June Nineteenth) is a holiday that marks the end of slavery in the United States and is celebrated each year across the country. In 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved Black Americans of the Confederate States. However, it took a long time for word to travel across the country and slavery continued in many places as a result. As states received the word, the residing slaves were freed. Texas, the most western state of the Confederacy, was the last state to receive word. On June 19th, 1865, troops marched into Galveston, Texas, and announced that slaves were free. This is a long-form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions, and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.

 After the slaves in Texas finally received word of their freedom two years after it was declared nationally illegal, celebrations broke out and the day affectionately became known as Juneteenth. The following year, Texans organized a celebration called “Jubilee Day,” on June 19th, and continued to celebrate this day every year thereafter. Over the years, the celebration spread to every state in the country. Some commemorate this day by making an annual pilgrimage to Galveston, Texas, where there are many activities and events held to honor the holiday. Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.

 Juneteenth is growing in popularity across the country as a sacred day that recognizes the triumph over contradictions between slavery and democracy. On this day, observers soberly embrace the reverence and appreciation for the liberation of slaves while celebrating Black culture. People celebrate through family gatherings, BBQs, prayer services, festivals, and many other activities. As America celebrates her independence annually on July 4th, Juneteenth is also an Independence Day that many Black Americans feel a special connection to. The day is considered symbolic and meaningful in a different way, given that perhaps “everyone is not free unless we are all free.”
