Black Like That Community Festival

Come experience the beauty at every intersection of Blackness and LGBT with a celebration in community, with community, for community. Black Like That is a bold, vibrant community festival produced by The Normal Anomaly Initiative, Inc., in partnership with Pride Houston 365. It’s a cultural celebration rooted in Black and queer excellence — proudly visible, proudly joyful, and unapologetically itself. Black Like That is the evolved form of the beloved Black Queer AF Music Festival (BQAF), now reimagined with a renewed focus on community, culture, and celebration. The event centers the voices, stories, and brilliance of Black LGBTQ+ culture while creating space for collective joy, creativity, and connection. The 2026 theme is “We Ain’t Going Nowhere.” It’s both a celebration and a declaration — a statement of resilience as The Normal Anomaly Initiative marks its fifth anniversary amid ongoing challenges to Black and queer communities. Black Like That is an inclusive space for every race, color, identity, and sexuality, but this year centers women of all experiences — including Black and Brown women, queer women, trans women, cis women, and allies — highlighting their influence across music, fashion, comedy, entrepreneurship, and more. What to Expect: Live performances from local and national LGBTQ+ artists Spaces for community celebration, storytelling, and cultural expression Opportunities for artists, vendors, and community partners to participate and showcase work A festival experience that honors the legacy of LGBTQ+ liberation — fittingly scheduled near the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising — and continues that work in the present.
