It’s official—the Funk Parade is coming back to U Street on May 11, helmed by new leadership and under the banner of the 2019 theme “Keepin’ The Funk Alive.”

The music festival—which encompasses a street fair and parade during the day and a series of local performances at night—has been running since 2014. Each year, tens of thousands of people flock to U Street NW to partake in the festivities (organizers have put the number as high as 75,000).

The 2019 parade is the first one that will be run by The MusicianShip DC, a local nonprofit focused on music education for youth (the group also just took over the D.C. area’s version of the Grammies … the Wammies.) After four years of running the event, which grew larger and more complex each year, Funk Parade founders Chris Naoum and Justin Rood announced in December that they were transferring responsibility for the festival.

This year’s theme is a nod to “the restored vision and commitment of The MusicianShip to grow the festival into the future,” according to the organization.

Here are some things to know about this Saturday’s celebration: The festival will be held from 1 to 7 p.m. on U Street NW. Performances are set to take place all afternoon on five stages around the area, including near the U Street Metro station, and at 9th and V streets near the 9:30 Club. The lineup features a healthy mix of drummers, dancers, and musicians. Arguably the biggest band on the bill, the Chuck Brown Band, is scheduled for a 6 p.m. show at the festival’s main stage at the African American Civil War Memorial.

It’s a lot to remember, but you can keep track of it all with the Funk Parade’s official app. Introduced two years ago, it’s been updated for this year to include the day’s schedule, a map of the performances, and a list of the artists on deck.There’s also a playlist of songs from the artists performing. The app is available for iOS and Google devices.

The parade itself will take place from 5 to 6 p.m., stretching from the Howard Theatre to the Lincoln Theatre. Keep your eye out for drummers (from Batala Washington, The MusicianShip Drumline, Resistance Beats Bucket Drummers), skaters (the DC Roller Girls are set to appear), dancers (from Main Attraction Divaz Dance Company, among others) at least three marching bands, and one giant dragon (from Hung Tao Choi Mei Dragon Dancers). Mayor Muriel Bowser is also set to make an appearance.

The nighttime music festival will start at 7 p.m. and go all the way to midnight (two hours later than last year!) Musical acts will perform at venues like Tropicalia, DC9, Ben’s Next Door, Sollys, Velvet Lounge, Archipelago, Local 16, Shaw’s Tavern, Bin 1301, Busboys & Poets, Marvin, Songbyrd Music House, Pearl Street Warehouse, and Jo Jo’s. There will also be a “featured showcase” concert at 8 p.m. at the Historic Prince Hall Lodge. Singer Yazarah, singer/poet Wes Felton, and R&B singer Michelle Blackwell—all born in D.C.—are on the bill. There’s also a Funk Parade-themed beer.

For the first time, the festival will also hold a free #DontMuteDC Conference at U Street Music Hall in the morning to discuss the local social justice movement that’s grown in the wake of Shaw’s Metro PCS store being forced to turn off (and then turning back on) its go-go music. Speakers include D.C. Office of Planning director Andrew Trueblood, D.C. hip-hop producer Tone P, activist Ron Moten, and others. They’re set to discuss housing, social justice, and preserving the culture of go-go in D.C.

While the events generally remain free to attend, organizers have looked for ways to make the Funk Parade more financially sustainable. Last year, they introduced wristbands for the night festival, and the new organizers are following suit: $10 wristbands will get attendees priority entry into the music venues and some discounts on food and drink. Meanwhile, entrance to the featured showcase will cost $20. They’re also offering a combined wristband that gains entry to the conference, showcase concert, and evening festival for $30.
