Our Story
At Taste of BLK, we proudly celebrate Black culture through the flavors and fellowship that bring us together. As a Black and Woman-owned business, we are dedicated to showcasing the richness and diversity of our heritage with every bite. Taste of BLK isn’t just a business — it’s a movement. A movement to uplift, empower, and celebrate the beauty of Black culture through the universal language of food. Experiences based in North Carolina and Florida.
Taste the culture. Savor the fellowship.
About Our Events
We host a few events throughout the year with limited tickets available to keep the setting intimate. Our goal is to feature BLK chefs and vendors + give them the space to share the story behind their food and products.
Juneteenth at Moore Square is giving cookout energy, family reunion vibes, and all the culture you can handle. Music, food, vendors, and community. All in one place and completely free!
Taste of BLK invites you to pull up, be present, and celebrate Juneteenth the way it was meant to be celebrated. Surrounded by your people, your culture, and everything that makes this day mean something. It is a celebration of who we are, where we come from, and everything we have to look forward to.

Rooted in community, culture, and celebration, this was a celebration of legacy and a room full of people who showed up for the culture. Guests came prepared to eat, connect, and be moved by a night that nourishes the body, the mind, and the legacy.
