Jubilee: Festival of Black History & Culture

Virtual Attendance Only

Join Historic Columbia (HC) virtually at Jubilee: Festival of Black History & Culture presented by Bank of America from noon-3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19. While the tradition of coming together to celebrate South Carolina’s Black history and culture will carry on, this year’s event will be held virtually due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing recommendations.  

  • The three-hour festival will feature a virtual tour of the Mann-Simons Site and a preview of new exhibits at the Modjeska Monteith Simkins House.  
  • Viewers will get a chance to hear from generations of Columbia activists as they share their stories of inspiration and achievement from the 20th century to today’s Black Lives Matter movement.  
  • Musical guests include AE the Cool, hip-hop artists Anfernee and Matt Monday, as well as IndigoSOUL.
