CultureFest DMV Celebrates Unity Through Food, Music & Dance At National Harbor

By: CultureFest DMV
 
OXON HILL, Md. - May 21, 2019 - PRLog -- CultureFest DMV is an international movement that celebrates food, music, fashion, and dance. On June 8, 2019, CultureFest DMV will kick-off its inaugural event at the National Harbor located on the historic Potomac River. Just minutes from the nation's capital, this festival will feature a beer garden, VIP cabanas, a fashion show, food court, craft village, interactive booths and multiple bars placed throughout the festival.

Live performances will be influenced by the cultures of the Caribbean and the African diaspora. Reggae and Soca icons such as Aidonia, Romain Virgo, Tanto Metro & Devonte, Patrice Roberts, Skinny Fabulous, along with Afrobeats sensation Timaya from Nigeria will hit the stage. This year will also feature DMV natives The Image Band.

The mission of CultureFest DMV is to bring communities together through unifying concepts such as philanthropy, food and music. A portion of the festivals' proceeds will be dedicated to two organizations that are near and dear to our guests of honor, Ms. Dorothy Toran, Executive Producer of The New Jersey Housewives and The First Lady of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Mrs. Fatima Bio.

The New Hope Horizon Foundation has partnered with Mrs. Bio and the #HandsOffOurGirls campaign. This campaign will implement many programs and projects to assist the disadvantaged youth and women with attaining a formal education, so they will not be forced into early marriage and rape. Prevention is also a key point of the mission as well. Click here to learn more.

Dorothy Toran is a Brand Ambassador of The Lupus Foundation of America
and a portion of the proceeds will assist in raising funds to support the Lupus Foundation of America's Stem Cell Research Project to improve the quality of life for people living with Lupus. In honor of her sister, Dorothy is carrying the torch to shed light on the topic of Lupus and how it affects the African Diaspora. Click here to learn more about the organization.

"We felt like it was important to curate a festival this size and scale to have non-profit partners to work with as well. It will be a two-way street of reciprocity and we're excited to work with both The Lupus Foundation of America/Color Me Happy & The New Horizon Foundation/ #HandsOffOurGirls initiatives. We wanted a way that we could spread a positive message through the celebration of our African heritage," says Freka Scott, CultureFest Founder and CEO of JIG Entertainment Group LLC/Judy's Island Grill.

CultureFest DMV sponsors include but not limited to Yelp, A thousand Words Photobooth, DC Now Events, Shinju Wiskey, E Server Wine, Art of Noize Art Gallery, Judy's Island Grill and more.

"We created CultureFest because we wanted to bring a high-end festival experience to people from all walks of life across our diverse communities. Being in the small business sector we were able to see it from two vantage points as a business as well as a patron. This allowed us to gain the perspective needed to pull resources together to enter this space. All age groups from millennials to Gen X will be represented at this festival. It was very important for us to have an element of sophistication to CultureFest given so much bad press and divisiveness highlighted in our neighborhoods across the country," says Lawrence Cox, CultureFest Co-Founder.
