Springs Preserve’s Black History Month Festival celebrates African American contributions in Southern Nevada with live performances, activities, and authentic cuisine.

Black History Month was recognized nationally in 1976, when President Gerald Ford designated the month as a time for the public to honor the contributions of Black Americans, according to the museum. The month has since inspired other groups and an appreciation of multicultural backgrounds.
