Black On State Block Party

Black on State Festival: Rodeo Remix – Black, bold & buckin’

Creative like the drum. Resilient like the rider. Black on State returns with a whole new rhythm.

In 2024 the Black on State Festival brought 13,000 attendees together from four cities and ten area codes, with an average dwell time of 210 minutes. Guests connected with more than 30 Black and minority-owned vendors and partners, helping us create a powerful celebration of Black creativity, community, and culture in the heart of Madison.
