Join Pastor Donnie McClurkin at Sawyer Point Sunday. City-wide Church service starts 10 am. Then, he'll be back as the headliner for the finale Gospel concert: 5 – 8 pm (several bands leading up to him)

The Midwest Regional Black Family Reunion Celebration was inaugurated in August 1989 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is held annually the 3rd weekend of August in various locations that includes a day-long celebration at Sawyer Point and Yeatman’s Cove. Through the generous support of sponsors, the event is open to the public at no charge and has grown to attracting over 20,000 people of all ages each year.

The Black Family Reunion is going mobile this year with its mobile app, the app will be available for download on the Google Play and Apple Store during and after the 2016 Black Family Reunion. Branden Criss the developer of the application stated “This year we want people to be able to access all the information they need about the black family reunion in the most convenient way possible. The app will allow users to navigate to the event, view a list of BFR sponsors and vendors, see who’s performing, send feedback about the event, email comments, pictures and some of their favorite moments, share information to their social media and much more. This is only one app of many to come my team and I are looking forward to working with Tracey Artist and the 2016 BFR Staff. Download Here: http://bit.ly/bfrappdnld
