Mavuno Festival

Description

Over 25 years ago, Sweetwater was approached by Black artists and educators in the community looking for ways to celebrate their artwork, accomplishments, and achievements. Since then, Sweetwater has worked towards this goal with celebrations such as festivals, exhibitions, brunches, and more. Today, Mavuno focuses on an annual festival featuring local art vendors, live music, and food, as well as an art exhibition in Sweetwater's gallery. The festival has grown to include a beer garden in recent years, as we continue to expand and build community partnerships. Mavuno aims to celebrate BIPOC artists, amplify voices, and create a platform for small businesses and artisans.
