The AFRAM festival is a Baltimore tradition for 46 years.

Every summer, thousands flock to Druid Hill Park to celebrate African American heritage with food, dancing, and music as well as check out a variety of vendors from all over the city.

It takes place Juneteenth weekend, on the 17th and 18th this June.

Juneteenth, which became a federal holiday in 2021, is the celebration of the emancipation of African Americans from slavery.

The festival is an opportunity for people to come together and celebrate Black history with great food and entertainment.

The musical lineup features a mix of both world-renowned recording stars as well as local talent.

Last year's performers featured superstar performer, songwriter and producer Ne-Yo; R&B singer El DeBarge; Superstar R&B group the O’Jays; DJ and radio host, DJ Quicksilva; and actor/singer Rotimi.
