Welcome to the 2026 Freedom Classic Festival!

The Freedom Classic began its tradition in Richmond, Virginia, on January 14th, 1996. Thirty years later, this event has evolved into a community staple, connecting thousands of alumni, students, fans, and corporations as we commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement.
