The Blk Out Fest is a climbing + outdoor festival centering and celebrating Black excellence in rock climbing. This 3-day, 2-night festival in Chattanooga, Tennessee is designed to celebrate the accomplishments of Black athletes, entrepreneurs and creatives through film screenings, a community fellowship dinner and the open air Blk Mkt shopping experience.
This retreat-style festival is designed to provide a safe space for mental wellness and rejuvenation for climbers of the African diaspora. Our commitment to climate action includes group shuttle transportation, composting and an all plant-based menu.
