If you’re going to leave the house to shop on Black Friday, forget the mall — instead, hit the Doubletree Hotel on Concord Pike, where the annual Melanin on Market event hosted by Cherné Altovise promises to be the biggest one yet. It’s meant to be a multicultural business expo for trendsetters and style icons.
The event, held from 9 a.m.–5 p.m. on Nov. 24, will feature vendors from all over the tri-state area, speakers, music and networking.
Tickets are $10.
