| What is The Roots Picnic In Philadelphia |
Philly's Finest Throw a Party
This ain't your average music festival, folks. Curated by the Grammy-winning hip-hop group The Roots themselves, the Roots Picnic is more like a giant family reunion with amazing music, good vibes, and enough food to feed a small army (well, maybe not an army, but a very hungry music fan).
Imagine this: sprawling out on the beautiful Fairmount Park lawn, soaking up the sunshine, and grooving to sets from some of the hottest names in hip-hop and R&B. Past lineups have been epic, featuring icons like Ms. Lauryn Hill, Pharrell, and Philly's own Meek Mill.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
This year? We're talking headliners like the incomparable Lil Wayne and hometown hero Jill Scott. Need we say more?
It's Not Just About the Beats (But the Beats are Dope)
Sure, the music is the main course, but the Roots Picnic serves up a whole lotta side dishes too. There's a smorgasbord of food trucks dishing out delicious eats, from cheesesteaks (it is Philly, after all) to international flavors that'll tantalize your taste buds. Plus, there are vendors galore showcasing everything from fresh kicks to unique crafts.
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
