Celebrate Black heritage at Durham’s 2026 Legacy Café, where youth and elders unite to honour history, share wisdom, and inspire the future.

Join us for a legacy celebration, Together We Rise: Legacy Ignites the Path for Youth to Lead the Future! The Regional Municipality of Durham, together with municipal and community partners, warmly invites you to the 2026 Black History Month celebration.

This year's celebration features Black History Legacy Café, an engaging space where history meets hope, and wisdom becomes a bridge to the future. The Legacy Café is a vibrant gathering designed to honour the richness of Black heritage and the power of intergenerational connection. Youth and elders come together for meaningful dialogue about the value of legacy, exploring how the stories, struggles, and triumphs of the past illuminate the path for tomorrow.
