As the nation celebrates the 50th anniversary of hip hop music this year, Philadelphia City Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson (D-2nd Dist.) hosted his legendary Annual Community Appreciation Day last Saturday, August 26, at the intersection of South 22nd Street and Point Breeze Avenue (1500 block of South 22nd Street) in South Philadelphia.
“My Annual Community Appreciation Day is a way for me to say thank you to all of the residents of the Second Council District and to celebrate the end of summer with a festive event,” Johnson said. “In addition to the free food, fun and entertainment all day, we will also have information tables set up by different community organizations to provide valuable resources to the public to improve the quality of their lives. Music is always a major part of Community Appreciation Day because it brings people together in so many ways and help us understand each other better and build stronger relationships with those around us.”
The event featured performances by State Property’s Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Chris and Neef, Trina, and the legendary KRS-One during the evening.
This year’s annual gathering, which usually stretches for four blocks from Point Breeze Avenue from Dickinson to Morris Streets, featured free food, entertainment, and informational resources.
