With so much of my time being focused on the Jersey Fresh Jam and #BYOBBBQ2 (both of which go down ont he 20th of August), I forgot that Trenton had another festival going down, the Trenton African Americal Pride Festival, which is going down in Cadwalader Park from 12PM to 6PM. There's a boatload of performances going on, from Hip-Hop MCs like Wise Intelligent and Emcee Jermaine performing live to poetry from Polo (the East Trenton Poet) and Narubi Selah to people doing gospel music, dance, R&B & Jazz bands and so much more (including Jermaine's son performing). There are different areas for kids, yoga, loads of food, vendors and plenty more - seriously, check the Entertainment Schedule for the full line-up. Shouts to Candice Frederick, who broke down what's going down in today's Trentonian. They are also looking for entusiastic people to volunteer, so if you're free, get on it! I'd also hope that, while this is an African American Pride Festival, any color can come down. Get your learn on and enjyo yourselves, seriously. Big up to Trenton!
