Shop Black-Owned Businesses at Fayetteville’s Annual Community Expo

The NW Arkansas Black Business Expo is back at Fayetteville Town Center, bringing together local Black-owned businesses for a day of shopping, connection, and community celebration. You’ll find entrepreneurs from across the region showcasing their brands and building relationships with customers who want to support local.

What You’ll Discover

For-profit businesses, nonprofit organizations, and young entrepreneurs through the new Kidpreneur Track will fill the venue with booths featuring clothing, art, beauty products, home goods, and services. Connect directly with the business owners behind each brand while browsing. Food trucks will be stationed around the downtown Fayetteville square throughout the event.

The Kidpreneur Track Makes Its Debut

Young business owners under 18 get their own dedicated vendor spaces this year. These youth entrepreneurs will receive special recognition throughout the day, highlighting the next wave of Black business talent in Northwest Arkansas. A parent or guardian must accompany each Kidpreneur during the event.

The Mission Behind the Marketplace

Black Owned NWA created this annual expo to increase visibility for local Black entrepreneurs. The organization started as an Instagram platform and has evolved into a year-round movement supporting business owners through community events and ongoing promotion. This marketplace creates direct connections between businesses and customers across the region.
