African-American Heritage Festival 2008

The scene

June 28, 2008

The 2008 African-American Heritage Festival, held June 27-29, will mostly be remembered for its three-day downpour. However, the rain didn’t stop the crowds from coming out to enjoy live performances by Lil Mo, Fantasia and Baltimore’s own, Mario. The festival included vendors selling everything from African crafts to smoked sausages, carnival rides and spoken word poetry.—La Kaye Mbah
