An all black formal gala.
The staple event of Grown-Coming weekend 2022!
About this Event
Yearly, Dallas serves as the meeting place of two prestigious Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU), as Grambling State University and Prarie View A&M face off in the Southwest Airlines State Fair Classic!
This weekend will usher in over 100,000 African Americans to the Dallas area to display pride as alumni, Greek, and even to get a taste of what the HBCU life is like.
So we decided this is the perfect opportunity to bring the HBCU Homecoming experience to the DFW!… With a Grown twist!
BESC Grown-Coming will feature a weekend full of events centered around the State Fair Classic including Social Hours, mixers, tailgates, a picnic, a concert, and of course Black Hollywood, our formal gala!
On Friday September 30, 2022 the BESC Black Hollywood Gala will serve as the staple event for this historic weekend ! This elegant evening will be hosted by The Lorenzo hotel in downtown Dallas.
