Historic African American Resort
The Festival is held to commemorate and celebrate
the history of well known African-American
entertainers and professionals who owned property
and performed at the Historic Resort prior to the
Civil Rights Act of 1964. Known as the "Black Eden", this location was one of the few resorts in the United States where African-Americans could vacation and purchase property. The National Resource Team applauds the Idlewild community for holding on to the land; approximately 3,000 acres. It is historically, the largest land based African American resort ever assembled in the USA. Idlewild is a rare and valuable national resource with physical and cultural significance.
