A Celebration of Community Arts, Culture & Health in Baltimore
The “Voices of History'' Street Fair (“Street Fair”) is a free summer public event hosted by The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum (“The Museum”). The event began in 2015 as a culmination of the Growing Griots Literacy Learning Program, of which The Museum remains a long-time supporter. It has since expanded to an annual celebration of community arts, culture and health, coinciding with both the Juneteenth holiday and The Museum’s anniversary.
Event Highlights:
+ Free Community Event: Open to all
+ Vendors: Local crafts, art, and food
+ Music & Performances: Live entertainment featuring local talent
+ Children’s Area: Fun activities and games for kids
+ Informational Booths: Health, wellness, and community resources
+ Museum Access: The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum will be open for both walk-in visitors and scheduled group tours throughout the day. Guests are invited to experience our powerful new wax figure of Henrietta Lacks, honoring her legacy in advancing medical science, and explore "Cash Crop," a moving temporary exhibit by artist Stephen Hayes that confronts the realities of the transatlantic slave trade through sculpture and storytelling.
Grounded in uplifting Black history and the collective impact of local creatives and wellness efforts for children, families and neighborhoods, the Street Fair now serves as a culmination of The Museum’s Existential Determinants of Health (E.D.O.H.) Initiative, which utilizes artistic and cultural practices to support Baltimore residents’ navigation of and healing from trauma and its manifestations.
