CurlFest
A one-day summer festival in New York for natural curly and coily hair, run by the Curly Girl Collective.
CurlFest was started by the Curly Girl Collective, a group of women in New York, as a picnic in Prospect Park for people with natural hair, and it has grown into a large outdoor festival. It has been held in Brooklyn's Prospect Park, on Randall's Island and at other city venues. Visitors come with afros, twist-outs, braids and locs, and there are styling demonstrations, talks on hair care and the natural hair movement, music and a market for small Black-owned businesses. The festival is held on a summer Saturday. The 2027 date shown is an estimate until the organisers announce it.
