Through the Dunbar Easter Coronation, we honor our shared heritage and reaffirm the unbreakable bonds that unite us. It stands as a shining example of how traditions can inspire hope, foster togetherness, and create cherished memories for generations to come.

Evelyn Sams Canady, a trailblazing educator and community leader, established the Dunbar Easter Parade in 1945 as a beacon of hope and unity during a time of intense segregation and hardship. Her visionary initiative aimed to create a joyous celebration for the African American community, fostering a spirit of togetherness and resilience amid challenging circumstances.

This vibrant celebration will showcase a dazzling array of floats, dynamic marching bands, and spirited community groups. Attendees can immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere, enjoying captivating live music and energetic dance performances. Join us for an unforgettable event filled with excitement and community spirit
