This Halloween, St. Petersburg-based nonprofit HUE Avenue and creative hub Culture Creative are teaming up to present the ’90s Black Cinema Halloween Night.

Taking place on Saturday, October 31, from 9 pm to 1 am at Culture Creative (2108 34th St S), this celebration offers film lovers and partygoers a chance to honor the classic movies and unforgettable fashion that defined ’90s Black culture.

A Night of Nostalgia

From timeless classics like ‘Love & Basketball’ and ‘Boyz n the Hood’ to ‘Poetic Justice’, ’90s Black cinema helped shape pop culture for generations. The upcoming Halloween event aims to capture that energy with a full slate of activities, including:

’90s Costume Contest

Live Music & Entertainment

Trivia & Interactive Games: Test your knowledge on classic Black film trivia for a chance to win prizes.

Immersive Photo Experiences & Vendors

Underrepresented Voices in Entertainment

“We wanted to create an experience where people can come together, have fun, and reconnect through the culture that Black Cinema gave us,” said Tamia Iman Kennedy, Founder and Executive Director of HUE Avenue.

The event highlights the shared mission of both host organizations to uplift underrepresented stories. HUE Avenue serves the St. Petersburg community by educating and entertaining through film & television, while Culture Creative, led by Chris “BRAIN” Roberts, acts as a “home base” for local artists and creatives.
