Celebrate the GRAND OPENING of Uhuru Bakery &amp; Café, a project of the Black Power Blueprint, on Saturday, August 15, 2026, from 12 - 5pm at 3719 W. Florissant Ave., St. Louis. This free community event marks a major victory for food sovereignty, bringing healthy food access, jobs, and economic self-reliance back to North St. Louis.
Taking place during Marcus Garvey’s 139th birthday weekend, the event honors his legacy of Black economic institution-building with the raising of the red, black, and green African flag, a full marching band and a Build-a-Black-Doll booth.
Everyone is welcome to check out the stage with voices from the community, live African music, drumming, and spoken word. Attendees can enjoy Uhuru's famous pies, housecrafted jerk chicken, and air-roasted coffee for sale, as well as complimentary sampling stations.
Uhuru Bakery &amp; Cafe is part of the larger Black Power Blueprint suite of programs, by and for the Northside community, including the Uhuru House community center, the Vanguards Basketball Court, the One Africa! One Nation! Farmer's Market and the Shamba la Uhuru Freedom Farm.
RSVP if you can, so we bake enough pies:) You can also sign up to volunteer at, and sponsor the event. Go to UHURUPIES.ORG! Everyone is welcome!
