Get Involved

We’re a passionate, volunteer-led committee dedicated to championing a movement that unites Black people in Indianapolis, celebrating the myriad of things that bring us together. As we embark on Year 5 of our journey, we’re committed to making this year’s festival even more memorable and impactful than ever before.

VOLUNTEER WITH US

BLACK: A Festival of Joy is powered by volunteers who believe in creating spaces where Black joy can be celebrated, shared, and experienced. Whether you’re welcoming guests, supporting activities, assisting with setup, or helping behind the scenes, every volunteer plays an important role in making the festival possible.

Volunteering is an opportunity to connect with others, support a meaningful experience, and be part of something bigger than a single day. Together, we’re creating a celebration that reflects the creativity, culture, and joy of our city.
