Thousands of music lovers rolled out the picnic blankets at The Mann in Fairmount for the annual Roots Picnic.
There were three big stages for attendees to check out performances. Big headliners include Miss Lauryn Hill, Usher, Lil Uzi Vert and more.
"When women go to picnics, we prepare all the good stuff like the blankets, the head pillows. Got to look good and feel good," said Kaz Rivera. "The artists, the culture, the food, the drinks, it’s a really great place for Black community to come together and socialize and network and also just feel the vibes," said Adam Stoke, of New York.
"I’m feeling House and Afrobeats," said Kendall Rylander aka DJ Ken Roc. "I feel blessed, I feel honored to spread the music that I love."
