About this Event

Every year we get together for a celebration of summer, summer times favorite fruit, and everything Red, Black and Green. This free, family friendly, event is meant to ground us in community while learning about health and education. All the performer and food are paid for by Armah Enterprises and free to the public, but if you’d like to contribute to this community event by buying a donation ticket, we would greatly appreciate it! This year will include performances from Baba C, the Culture Queen, Iya Bashea & the Kuumba Kids, The CapoieraSpot DC, Baba Bomani and hosted by Drew Anderson! See you at Watermelon Day.
