Tampa’s weeklong celebration of Black heritage wraps this weekend with theater (Dr. Micah E. Johnson’s one-man show), school (the 50 years of hip-hop event at USF), a Black business bus tour, and this two day music festival in downtown’s Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park.

A pair of R&B songwriters—Keke Wyatt and Leela James—headlines on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Support comes from Slave—an Ohio funk group that carries on the tradition of the Ohio Players, Lakesize and Zapp—plus chart-topping smooth jazz guitarist Shawn Hawley.

Tickets for the Tampa Bay Black Heritage Festival’s two-day concert in Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in Tampa on Saturday-Sunday, Jan. 13-14 are still available and start at $20.
