Afro American Music Festival

Description
African American Music Festival At Vailsburg Park, Newark, NJ July, 2012 Let Us Show You How To Turn Our Good Times Into YOUR Good Business. Sponsorship opportunities abound for the Afro- American Music Festival. Overview The Afro- American Music Festival, to be held on July 20Th, 21st, 22nd 2012, from 11am to 12:00 am, is a three-day cultural event featuring world class musicians and comedians, in Newark, New Jersey’s beautiful Vailsburg Park. Vailsburg Park is located on 30.32 acres of land in the eastern section of Essex County off Oraton Parkway and South Orange Avenue, running alongside the Garden State Parkway. A mid-sized park heavily used primarily by neighborhood residents, it lies within the Vailsburg area of Newark and is the tenth largest park within the county park system. Located in Newark´s West Ward, the Vailsburg section seems to stick out from the rest of the area, not only geographically, but because of its hodgepodge of suburban, urban and park areas. Much of the South Orange Avenue area has recently been transformed, with renovated storefronts and an improved street scape. Many of the businesses are smaller, independently owned Mom and Pop stores that have been in the area for generations. Residential structures run the gamut from single- or double-family homes mostly owner-occupied to apartments, including the large Ivy Hill Apartments complex. Residents are mainly working class, and with more than 37 block associations, Vailsburg is known for its strong sense of community. Considered the most significant showcase for New Jersey’s talent,” our three stages provide attendees a venue to gather and enjoy outstanding, first-class entertainment – Jazz, Blues, Gospel, Positive Hip Hop and Contemporary R&B. We will have Headliners from six different genres of entertainment hit the stage: Jazz, Gospel, Contemporary R&B, Blues, Comedy, and Hip Hop. Food, arts, crafts, and commercial vendors complete this extraordinary weekend. This is a great opportunity to present your company and reap rewards well beyond the initial investment, aligning your company with an event that supports the moral and social standards of American Society. This is also the launch pad for New Jersey’s own (New Jersze Got Now!) showcase. The goal of the New Jersze Got Now! showcase is to support the arts education of New Jersey’s residents and abroad while gaining market share in New Jersey by way of branding the event into a progressing franchise. The producers of the showcase have decided to expand its parameters by making it a multimedia event: Both the participating artists as well as the Festival will be filmed. Subsequently, they will create a webisode, featuring the participating artists’ preparation for the event as will as the event itself. The benefits of this multimedia approach to the showcase as well as the Festival are two-fold. One, the artists will be able to promote themselves and their music
