It’s no secret- The Roots and Live Nation Urban don’t play when it comes to culture, music, and making Philly proud. And this year’s Roots Picnic? It’s not just serving up GRAMMY®-level talent– it’s feeding the soul and your stomach. This year’s food lineup is just as fire as the superstar lineup, making this annual event one you can’t miss.
Roots Picnic returns
Mark your calendars! The Roots Picnic is taking over Fairmount Park for a two-day festival that is sure to be one for the books. This year’s lineup includes Philly’s own Meek Mill, as well as Tems, Latto, Miguel, Jeezy, and more.
Additionally, the food lineup features a bevy of Philly’s finest Black-owned restaurants and food vendors.
“The Roots Picnic has always been a platform for Philadelphians built by Philadelphians. We’ve featured more Philly music artists performing on our stages than any festival in the world” said Shawn Gee, President of Live Nation Urban.
“Similarly, we’ve also provided opportunities for many local food vendors, who normally would not get the opportunity to work at large festivals, to grow with us. Questlove has always said to me that chefs and culinary professionals are the new rock stars. The parallels are endless, fusing cultures together, mixing/blending/mash-ups, improvising……. This year we are actively promoting and showcasing many of the rock star Black-owned restaurateurs and entrepreneurs that have been with us for years, as well as welcoming some new entrepreneurs and brands to the Picnic.”
