The free event centered at 50th Street and Baltimore Avenue, is hosted by the Black Women in Sport Foundation and state Sen. Vincent Hughes. This year, the day-long event featured celebrity women in hip hop: Salt-n-Pepa, MC Lyte and Angie Stone.
In the past, performers have included Common, Robin Thicke, Musiq Soulchild and Mos Def. The emcees for the event were Lady B and Skeet.
There were also rides, games, prizes, moon bounce, face painting sports demonstrations, free health clinics and community resource tents for families and senior citizens.
