Family Roots Fest
Oct 25, 2025
From: Noon to 4:00 PM
Heritage, storytelling and community come together at the Family Roots Fest, held in recognition of National Family History Month. The event blends education, culture and entertainment with activities designed for all ages.
Genealogy workshops led by local experts provide tools for tracing family histories, while storytelling and oral history sessions presented by HistoryMiami and the Black Broward Film Project invite community members to share personal traditions. Attendees can also record their own stories for inclusion in the Black Archives’ digital collection, supporting the preservation of local heritage. A Children’s Activity Zone features youth programming from the FIU Bob Moses Research Center and Little Lovett Petite Party Experience, while live music, cultural performances and sets by DJ H2 add to the festive atmosphere.
Family Roots Fest takes place Saturday, October 25 at the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater.
