Behind the Event: BCAAC Fest Turns 30 + Community Con Comes to Bowie

Go behind the event with The Spotlight DMV as we spotlight two community events happening Saturday, September 19. The Baltimore County African American Cultural Festival celebrates its 30th year in Towson with African American culture, history, food, vendors, health resources, youth activities and more. Then we head to Bowie for Community Con, a new event from The Co-Op Project bringing together young people, families, businesses, nonprofits and community leaders for resources, opportunities, entertainment and connection. Host Rose Johnson talks with the people behind both events about how they came together, what attendees can expect and why the work continues beyond event day. 📍 BCAAC Fest: Towson, Maryland   / bcaacfest   📍 Community Con: Bowie Library, Bowie, Maryland   / theco_opprojects   📅 Saturday, September 19, 2026 Subscribe to The Spotlight DMV for more Behind the Event conversations highlighting the people, events and resources shaping our communities. #BehindTheEvent #TheSpotlightDMV #BCAACFest #CommunityCon #MarylandEvents
