Plantain Party: A Bronx Creative Night, as part of Hidden City DIY Festival

IT'S A PLANTAIN PARTYYYYYYYY!!!

You are cordially invited to join us on Saturday, August 2nd in the Bronx, NY for an evening of rhythm, roots, and UPFUL community vibes. Plantain Party is a celebration of the Big Beautiful Diaspora culture in NYC, featuring the African, Caribbean, and Latino connections we've all tapped into at one point in time. It could've been a song, a meal, or a character on a TV show. Either way, we've all enjoyed the passionate, colorful, and vibrant frequency, and we want to bring all that good energy together to celebrate. Pull up on us!

What we have planned for the night:

1. An open mic featuring local voices: space will be limited, so please be sure to come before 8pm to sign up.

2. Powerful feature sets by incredibly talented artists:
El Bebe Bambu @bebebambu88
KPorcelain @kporc3lain
Brother Soulful @brthersoulful
Shawna Soulll @mzsoulll

Be sure to check them out and follow their musical journeys.

3. A live DJ spinning feel-good tunes throughout the night:
DJ Glitch Witch @allurahaura

4. Space to dance, vibe, chill, lime -- whatever you need!

5. Food by @BeyondBussin, with beer and wine for purchase (and plantain chips, of course)

Location: El Fogon Center for the Arts | 989 Home Street, Bronx NY
Doors open at 7:30 PM | Show starts at 8:00 PM
