This past Saturday (June 3) marked the 53rd anniversary of the Bimbé Cultural Arts Festival, hosted by the City of Durham and its Parks & Recreation department. Hosted by K975’s Brian Dawson, thousands of spectators from the Bull City and beyond enjoyed a day of food, entertainment, vendors, and culture.
As we celebrate Black Music Month and the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop, the show was jam-packed with performances by Intro, Mr. Cheeks, Petey Pablo, and KRS-One, along with several local acts. To say that this was an event to remember would be an understatement.
