ATLANTA, GA - The National Black Arts Festival (NBAF) invites Atlanta to celebrate the richness of Black creativity at Fall for Brunch, where art, culture, style, and purpose converge. The event will take place Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Hotel Phoenix Atlanta, 70 Centennial Olympic Park Drive, NW, Atlanta, GA 30303.
Atlanta's vibrant arts community is one of the many things that makes the city extraordinary. In a city that also knows how to brunch, Fall for Brunch brings the two together for an unforgettable cultural experience benefiting NBAF's work to champion Black artistic expression.
Guests will begin the afternoon by joining Fall for Brunch Co-Chairs Reina Jones and Marsha Archer for a pre-brunch champagne reception on the terrace, featuring passed hors d’oeuvres and a special performance by student harpists from Drew Charter School. From there, guests will move inside for an elevated dining experience set against vibrant fall florals, with live
performances by Frank Ski, The Community Choir—recently featured on America’s Got Talent—and poet Adán. Throughout the afternoon, guests will also have the opportunity to bid on a thoughtfully curated selection of live and silent auction experiences and items.
“Cultural institutions need communities that believe in their work and are willing to invest in it,” said Leatrice Ellzy, President and CEO of NBAF. “Fall for Brunch gives us an opportunity to gather our community, celebrate art and culture, and be intentional about generating the resources NBAF needs to continue pushing the work forward.”
Proceeds from Fall for Brunch support NBAF's year-round commitment to champion Black artistic expression, invest in artists, engage young people, and ensure Black art and culture continue to connect people, inspire imagination, and shape our shared humanity for generations to come.
