The music festival is celebrated annually at Chuck Brown Memorial Park to honor the D.C. legend.
David Jordan, 53, of Northwest Washington, dandled his 6-month-old son on his lap as the rest of his family played on a blanket. Muriel Langford, 70, of Southeast Washington, bopped with the music while seated on a bench near the stage alongside her girlfriends. And Myra Anderson, 37, got up from her lawn chair, waved her hands in the air and swayed back and forth. She’d driven almost three hours from Charlottesville.
“It’s nothing but love when you come to Chuck Brown Park on Chuck Brown Day,” Wiley Brown said. “That’s a testament to how much love he poured out, and it’s still being given back.” DPR and the Department of Behavioral Health both set up booths, and The Chuck Brown Foundation hosted a free bookbag giveaway for students.
