Black Family Reunion 2026
Saturday, September 19
11:00am - 3:00pm
Help us preserve history and join at the fourth-annual Alexandria Library Black Family Reunion!
Join us on Saturday, September 19, 2026 for the fourth annual Alexandria Library Black Family Reunion. The event aims to bring neighborhoods together and help fill gaps in the documented history of Alexandria’s African American community.
Current and former residents are encouraged to bring yearbooks, photographs, old event flyers, or programs that can be digitized. Better still, attendees can simply sit down and be videotaped sharing a brief oral history.
Donate early and receive a free t-shirt! More information is available at alexlibraryva.org/black-family-reunion.
Like any reunion, of course it will be a party! Attendees will enjoy a variety of food trucks, music and dancing, games for kids and adults, and Black Family Reunion t-shirts. This community event is free and open to all.
