Black Girl Beach Day 2026

August 16, 2026 | 10 am to 4 pm
Edgewater Beach
(near the Edgewater Beach House)

Join us to kick off National Wellness Month with a relaxing day by the shore. Bring your blankets, your beach chair, your favorite hobbies and enjoy some screen-free time by the lake

One lucky attendee will win a beach gift bag full of goodies to bring to their next personal beach day. Must register for the event for your entry.

❋ FREE Black Woman Book Swap (All day)

Bring a book, take a book! We’re giving away books by Black women authors and encourage you to bring one of your favorites (or one you’re willing to part with) to share the genius of Black women. Get a few bookish goodies while supplies last!

Slow Flow Yoga Session (10-11 am

Our event prioritizes comfort so this easy flow yoga session with Tiana Dane is a great way to warm up the body while listening to the waves crash along the shore.

❋ NEW Line Dance Session (11 am-Noon)

Come learn a few line dances with us — finally get the Tamia Shuffle down just in time for the end of summer!

❋ Wellness Circles (1-2 pm)

Led by Kayla Merritt of Black Girls Empowered, these circles will allow you to meet someone new and meet yourself on a deeper level.

❋ Wellness Walk (2-3 pm)

This roughly 40-minute walk with Bronlynn Thurman of Black Women Explore will circle the Edgewater area and allow you to get your blood pumping while meeting someone new.
