The Madam Walker Legacy Center is gearing up for one of the most anticipated events of the summer this weekend. It’s a celebration of legacy, music, and community.

The 2025 Legacy Fest kicks off this Friday with a benefit concert headlined by The Isley Brothers. The weekend is dedicated to honoring the life and mission of Madam C.J. Walker.

Crews are setting the stage for what’s expected to be the biggest Legacy Fest yet. For one weekend each year, Indiana Avenue transforms into a tribute to the legacy of Madam C.J. Walker.

Saturday is the free family-friendly block party from noon to 8 p.m. Families will be able to enjoy live performances by up-and-coming artists, eat from local food trucks, connect with vendors, and play games.

The fourth annual Legacy Fest wraps up Sunday with an afternoon conversation featuring Madam Walker’s great-great granddaughter, author A’Leila Bundles.

The benefit concert with The Isley Brothers is a ticketed event, while the block party and book chat are free and open to the public.
