Thousands of attendees packed into the District’s Fort Dupont Park to celebrate the godfather of go-go music at the 11th annual Chuck Brown Day festival.

The free five-hour music festival hosted by the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation not only had live performances honoring the District’s official music, but they also had a kid zone, food trucks and the mobile Go-Go Museum.

The family of Chuck Brown was in attendance, with their foundation giving out free backpacks and school supplies to children at the festival.

“It feels amazing — the support and just seeing that his legacy continues on,” said Nakia Brown.

The granddaughter of Chuck Brown took a break from handing out school supplies and talking to her grandfather’s fans to speak with WTOP.
