Founded

The Tiger Trail Festival was founded in 1995 by Blanche Ely Class of 1970, and for 15 years provided an annual event whose mission was to promote family, fun and community pride. Originally founded as a community-based, volunteer-run, series of events created to celebrate importance of Black History month, today, in the spirit of inclusion the festival themed “Agents of Change” will celebrate the contributions made by Pompano Beach's Black and White Citizens that have contributed to building the City of Pompano Beach through services and economic empowerment.
