Bayhaven food and wine festival 2022

The BayHaven Food & Wine Festival is a three-day celebration of Black Foodways, aimed at raising awareness of Black culinary experts and creating opportunities for newcomers in the hospitality industry. Founders Subrina Collier and Chef Gregory Collier were inspired by the Harlem Renaissance — an intellectual and cultural revival of African American music, dance, art, fashion, literature and theater in the 1920s and 1930s — to create a festival that will educate and entertain.

By celebrating Black foodways and the industry members who make them possible, the festival will honor the diaspora, foster education, and create meaningful and joyous moments of celebration. Charlotte, NC, has become a true melting pot, drawing folks from around the world. We envision a world where that diversity and representation is equally visible in the arena of elevated food conversation and food festivals.

The BayHaven Food & Wine Festival in Charlotte, NC is a three-day celebration of Black Foodways, Oct. 22-24 at Camp North End.

The inaugural BayHaven Food & Wine Festival is aimed at raising awareness of our black culinary experts and creating opportunities for newcomers in the hospitality industry.

This year's "Homecoming" theme invites attendees to reminisce about their college days and maybe even show school pride by recognizing the rich culture and customs of historically Black colleges. Dress up for the Formal Gala, relax at the Post-Game Tailgate Cookout, or savor dozens of delicacies at the Pep Rally Tasting Tents.

Tickets must be purchased in advance for one or all of the many spectacular events offered. Don’t miss the Pre-Game Food Truck Rally and Seafood & Oyster Dinner! While the festival is for ages 21 and older, BayHaven Carnival is open to all on Wednesday, October 19.
