Black History Month events in Palm Springs

The 7th Annual Black History Month Cultural Appreciation Fashion Music & Art Extravaganza will be Aneka Brown's last year producing the event.

At the event, there was a big reveal of a Marconi-designed piece of artwork of Sammy Davis Jr. "Seven is the number of completion, and I feel comfortable walking away and leaving the legacy and opening it up something different," says Brown. Brown's something different is working with a committee to get Sammy Davis Jr. a star on the Walk of Fame in Palm Springs. If you want to help her and her team, go to her Sammy Davis Jr website.

Saturday, February 4th, 12 pm - 6 pm 2023, at 1386 S Driftwood in Palm Springs.
