The International Black Theatre Festival (IBTF) rolls out the purple carpet every other summer, transforming Winston-Salem into a mega-performing arts center with over 130 performances in a number of the city’s venues. Formerly known as the National Black Theatre Festival, IBTF highlights over 100 theatrical performances and a host of complementary events across Winston-Salem for a "Marvtastic" celebration and reunion of spirit. Theatre workshops, film festivals, a Midnight poetry slam, International Vendors Market, and a star-studded celebrity gala all combine to create one of the biggest theatre festivals in the country.
