 Family Day In the Park |
Heritage Urban AC WQQK-FM (92Q)/Nashville will present "Family Day In the Park" on Saturday, June 3 at Hadley Park in the heart of historic North Nashville. Stationed between Fisk University and Tennessee State University, two historically African American institutions, "Family Day in the Park" at Hadley Park honors those who deserve it the most -- families. This will be a free event open to the public and will occur from 2-6pm CT.
Attendees will enjoy live music from local artists, and "Cupid Shuffle" superstar Cupid will perform his hit as 92Q will attempt Tennessee's largest Cupid Shuffle dance ever. Additional outdoor entertainment will include inflatables, free hot dogs, and game stations for kids, plus "Rolling Video Games," the only mobile video game truck in Nashville.
Just Play Entertainment, home of "Hip-Hop Charades," will have a children's obstacle course onsite where one grand prize-winning kid will take home a brand-new Oculus Quest 2 Advanced All-In-One Virtual Reality Headset. For the adults, the highly anticipated city-wide Spades Tournament has secured over 100 entries. One grand prize team will win $500, bragging rights, and the notorious Spades tournament trophy. 92Q will welcome over a dozen food trucks and double the amount of business vendors compared to 2022.
92Q will also present the inaugural "Kwame L. Lillard Community Service Award" at "Family Day in the Park" this year, with award-winning Nashville-based journalist Vicki Yates as the first recipient.
Cumulus Vice President of Urban Programming Kenny Smoov said, "Kwame Lillard lived his life with an energy that is also a key part of what makes 92Q special - A keen awareness of community. He understood the importance of the community working together and striving to build upon what our ancestors left us. This award will be given yearly to a person who strives to make our community stronger, better, and leaves a positive legacy for the next generation."
WQQK-FM, WSM-FM and WKDF-FM Director of Promotions and Marketing Krista Hayes added, "Family Day in the Park's purpose is to strengthen the place we call home and help promote family values, healthy environmental outlets, and pride here in our city. We're so thrilled to bring this event back and support small businesses, plus we have some huge surprises for our attendees this year."
