JC Takeover Festival & Events
August 8, 2026
Jersey City, New Jersey
Our mission is to create a safe and inclusive space where gay men of color can connect, network, and share business ideas while celebrating our collective presence. We are committed to promoting economic growth, health, and well-being within our community. As part of our efforts, the festival provides health products and testing services specifically for men of color. While the festival is open to all businesses and organizations, we prioritize those whose products and services align with and benefit our demographic. Through this platform, we aim to foster awareness, collaboration, and empowerment for a stronger, healthier community
JC Takeover Festival was created in 2021 to help bring awareness to businesses and organizations within our community. We also wanted to create a safe space for the gentlemen to network, share business ideals and to celebrate our existence within the community. The festival is not limited to businesses or organizations that are gay owned, however it is important that the business/organization have a product or ideal that would be beneficial to our demographics.
