Get ready to dive into a world of stories and flavors at Tales & Taste - an event that will tantalize your senses and spark your imagination

Welcome to Tales and Taste: Afro-Infusion Dialect Festival — a dynamic Black History Month celebration where culture, cuisine, storytelling, and innovation intersect.

Free for Kids.

Join us on February 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM (Mountain Time) for an immersive experience that engages both tradition and the future. Enjoy an all-you-can-eat culinary journey inspired by Afro-diaspora flavors while exploring powerful stories rooted in history, language, and lived experience.

This festival also creates space for accessible conversations on how artificial intelligence is shaping health, technology, and books, and what that means for culture, creativity, and community knowledge today. Through dialogue and shared learning, attendees will gain insight into how innovation can coexist with heritage and storytelling.

Whether you're drawn by food, culture, literature, or curiosity about the future, Tales and Taste offers a welcoming space to connect, reflect, and celebrate.
