The inaugural Broccoli City Festival brought out a large and
eclectic crowd with musical tastes ranging from rock to hip-hop. In reverence
of Earth Day, the Broccoli City Festival was a health enthusiast’s dream with group
Yoga and Zumba sessions on site, food trucks galore, and delectable smoothie
concoctions containing only the freshest of fruits.

The tables even had
broccoli for centerpieces! DJs Spinser Tracy, Stereo Faith and Jerome Baker,
III kept the crowd moving with matchless mixes of old-school, new-school, pop,
hip-hop and alternative tunes. Multi-media mogul and DJ Vashtie held it down
for the ladies on the 1s and 2s doubling on her duties as hostess of the
festival.

The DC Fair Grounds served as
an awesome venue for the BC Fest, located directly across the street from the
Navy Yard Metro Station. As the audience started to pour in, the energy and
anticipation for the show start began to build. The Broccoli City Festival
brought out a stellar line-up with performances that included amazing artist on
the rise (his upcoming project is
called The Rise) Locke Kaushal, high
energy and humorous band Dale and the Z Dubs and DMV native rapper
extraordinaire, Phil Adé. DC’s own Black Alley Band really got the crowd pumped
with tracks from their debut project Soul. Swagger. Rock. Sneakers. that included "Virgin Suicide" and "Bad Girl".

By the time the Black Alley Band had left the stage, the crowd
was pumped for the event’s headliner, Big Krit who performed songs a mixture of
songs from his EPs 4Eva Na Day, Live From the Underground, and R4 The Prequel. For this being the first
ever Broccoli City Festival the outcome was pretty commendable. Not only was
the show and purpose of Broccoli City Festival incredible, it didn’t even rain!
Time and patience will only tell what kind of Earth Day fabulousness Broccoli
City has in store for next year.
