📅 When: Sunday, April 26, 2026
📍 Where: 925 Jerusalem Ave, Uniondale, NY 11553
🕑 Time: 1 PM to 6 PM<h3>What Makes This Marketplace Different</h3>
This inaugural event is intentionally designed to be:
<ul><li>Focused (not overcrowded)</li><li>Local (Long Island–based brands)</li><li>High-quality (vendors, not random pop-ups)</li><li>Community-centered (supporting ownership and growth)</li></ul>
Attendees can expect a vibrant environment where shopping local meets cultural pride — all under one roof.
This is more than a market — it’s the start of a platform that spotlights local entrepreneurs and connects them directly with the community that supports them.
✨ This is the first annual edition of an event built to grow year over year.<h3>About Black Long Island Business Network</h3>
At Black Long Island Business Network, we believe that visibility drives opportunity—and Black-owned businesses deserve to be seen, supported, and celebrated.
<a href="https://blacklongislandbusiness.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">BlackLongIslandBusiness.com</a> was created to bridge the gap between Black entrepreneurs and customers looking to shop with purpose.
Whether you're a local restaurant in Freeport, a service provider in Valley Stream, or an e-commerce brand in Patchogue, this directory is your gateway to more customers, more visibility, and more growth.<h2>Why We Started Black Long Island Business Network</h2>
Our founder, <a href="https://godsondigital.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Godson Michel</a>, recognized that Black Long Island entrepreneurs face unique challenges — from limited access to capital to fewer mainstream marketing opportunities.
We created Black Long Island Business Network to level the playing field by offering resources.<h3>The Black Long Island Network Mission</h3>
To amplify Long Island's Black-owned businesses by providing a powerful platform for visibility, connection, and economic empowerment. We’re here to make it easier for consumers to discover, support, and invest in Black entrepreneurship—one business at a time.
