The festival will take place in the park June 18 and 19.
The Forrests remains are still in Health Sciences Park though the bronze equestrian monument honoring the once slave-trader who presided over the slaughter of Black Union Army soldiers was removed in December 2017.
The removal of the monument came after more than a year of protests lead by grassroots group #TakeEmDown901 and after a city council vote secured the sale of Health Sciences Park to Memphis Greenspace Inc. The sale allowed officials to bypass Tennessee laws that prohibited the removal of such monuments.
The pandemic forced the celebration to go virtual in 2020, though an informal celebration formed Downtown at the I Am A Man Plaza outside Clayborn Temple after weeks of protests in Memphis spurred by the police killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.

Betty Isom was fast asleep when the fire started.
Her grandson woke her up in the early hours of Jan. 1, 2018, alerting her to the blaze, later determined to be an electrical fire. Isom and her family were not able to douse the fire themselves; the pipes in her home had frozen. It had barely gotten to 25 degrees on New Year’s Eve in Memphis, according to weather records.
The moments after Isom and her family left the house were chaotic. Isom, who hadn’t even had time to grab shoes on her way out, tried to run back inside to get her car keys so the family could sit in the car to escape the cold. She eventually went to her neighbor’s home, but her family feared she had gone back into the house and told firefighters she might be inside.
