Heritage Social Brunch 2026 is the signature cultural experience anchoring Charlotte’s Diaspora Heritage Day, proclaimed by Mayor Vi Alexander Lyles for June 7, 2026.

Hosted at The Pine in Charlotte’s NoDa Arts District, this premium seated brunch will bring together 250 multicultural professionals, tastemakers, entrepreneurs, civic leaders, creatives, and community influencers for an elevated afternoon of culture, connection, cuisine, art, music, and legacy.

Now in its second year after a sold-out inaugural event, Heritage Social Brunch is designed for brands seeking meaningful alignment with a polished, culturally engaged audience — not a mass activation. Sponsors are integrated into the experience with intentional visibility before, during, and after the event.

The 2026 experience includes live art by internationally acclaimed, Smithsonian-exhibited artist Shiri Achu; a live Jill Scott tribute by Mone’t Symone; cultural storytelling by Dr. Monique Stubbs with tribal drummers; a globally inspired Chef’s Table by Chef Dawson; a curated silent auction; and a seated social atmosphere built for premium brand engagement.

Net proceeds benefit A Present Help Movement, Inc. and Future of Africa Inc., both 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Sponsorship support may be tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Sponsorship opportunities range from $1,000 to $10,000, with one brand per category. Sponsor confirmations are requested by May 10, 2026, for inclusion in pre-event marketing and promotional materials.
