Because Black Joy is Always in Season
Daptoberfest is an event designed to highlight Black Owned Businesses and give platforms to those who may not have the benefit of a brick-and-mortar establishment, website, or supply chain operation. Offering Black Business Owners a venue to network with other business owners and connect with the local community who will not only patronize, but support them beyond the day of the event.
The Adinkra symbol at the top of the Daptoberfest seal is Gye W’ani or “rich living”. It translates to “enjoy yourself, joy of living, happiness and laughter.” That’s what Daptoberfest is all about. “Black Joy. Unfiltered. An unapologetically Black beer garden featuring melanin illuminated by the amber glow of hanging bulb lights, the roar of fire pits and the discriminate luminous hue of neon signs. All punctuated by the support of Black commerce.”
