For over 25 years, Sweetwater has worked to celebrate Black artists and educators, showcasing artwork, accomplishments, and achievements.

Today, Mavuno focuses on an annual festival featuring local art vendors, live music, and food, as well as an art exhibition in Sweetwater’s gallery. The festival has grown to include a beer garden in recent years, as we continue to expand and build community partnerships. Mavuno aims to celebrate BIPOC artists, amplify voices, and create a platform for small businesses and artisans.

Walnut Street will close from Duquesne Way to Thorn Street to allow for vendors, live music, a beer garden, and all festival activities!
