What growth looks like🔥
What started as Roots & Reggae at The Village Grill grew into something bigger; moving to Wasena Park, then transforming into Lost In The Flowers to create a more immersive, experience and atmosphere. From there, we reimagined one of our most loved concepts and introduced the R&B Is For Lovers Festival—bringing a new energy, a new sound, and a connection to the culture.
As the vision expanded, so did the space, outgrowing Wasena Park and finding a new home at Elmwood Park.
This year marks our second year at Elmwood for the R&B Is For Lovers Festival. This is a reflection of 10 years of growth, intention, and community.
We hope to see you there! June 6th, 4PM! Link in bio!🌷🌻🌹
