The Black Vendor Village is about more than just shopping—it’s a celebration of resilience, creativity, and community connection. Events like this play an important role in highlighting the contributions of underrepresented groups while addressing systemic barriers that have historically limited opportunities for Black entrepreneurs. The Black Vendor Village is an opportunity for Black-owned businesses in Clarington and Durham to showcase their incredible talents, creativity, and contributions to our community. It’s also an opportunity for the entire community to come together and celebrate our diversity and the values that make Clarington a place where everyone feels valued and celebrated.
The Municipality of Clarington is proud to host this event in partnership with the Region of Durham and Clarington Library, Museums and Archives as part of its ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive, equitable community where everyone feels welcome.
