Natural Trendsetters announced the official details for the Coilture Freedom Festival 2025, an immersive celebration dedicated to Black natural hair, holistic wellness, and culture. The festival, themed “An Afro-Futurist Rooftop Experience,” will take place on Sunday, November 16, 2025, from 12 PM to 7 PM EST, at the YMCA of South Florida – Victory Black Box Theatre, 1409 NW 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The Coilture Freedom Festival returns this fall to transform the rooftop and theatre into a dynamic space honoring the past, embracing the present, and elevating the future of Black Hair expression. The event moves beyond discussions of hair texture to encompass art, entrepreneurship, and communal healing.
This year’s programming is centered around three main experience zones:
THE CROWN JEWEL: “THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA” FASHION PLAY (2 PM & 5 PM Encore): An innovative fashion experience blending runway, theatre, and sound. This groundbreaking production will feature over 20 models journeying through the Past, Present, and Future of Black style and natural beauty inside the Victory Black Box Theatre.
THE TEMPLE: ASCENSION WORKSHOPS: Attendees can participate in intimate ticketed sessions designed to align body, mind, and spirit, including:
Breathwork for Liberation Activation (1 PM): Led by Corey Jackson (@SomaticPanda), this session is designed to release stored stress and unlock inner power.
Sound Bowl Healing (4 PM): Immerse yourself in healing frequencies with Soulflower and Company (@soulflower777).
Womb Health & Sovereignty (4 PM): A sacred space to reconnect with feminine wellness by Dr. Kertia Duga (@shedoes_medicine).

THE VILLAGE: ROOFTOP MARKET & DAY PARTY: The open-air rooftop will host over 20 Black-owned vendors and artisans, accompanied by continuous DJ sets, live music, delicious food from local chefs (including vegan and soul food options), art installations, and community networking. The VIP Skybox lounge will feature complimentary wine, rum tastings and on-site sponsor activations.
