Orange County Black History Parade & Cultural Faire
The purpose of the OC Black History Parade & Cultural Faire is to promote the knowledge that African Americans have been, are, and will continue to be contributors to the vitality of Orange County California. Our focus is on a proud Black History and African American heritage. This is an annual event that began 35 years ago and we want to be a permanent part of cultural celebrations in The OC.
The event is organized by the Orange County Heritage Council (OCHC), a 501(c)(3) non profit organization #26-3664282. OCHC is comprised of individuals, families, churches and community organizations collaborating to host the event and is an all volunteer group.
