Chuck Brown Day
August 22, 2023
From DC Parks & Recreation:
Chuck Brown Day commemorates the life legacy and music of DC legend – the Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown.
The event occurs in the Chuck Brown Memorial Park, which is adjacent to Langdon Park. Chuck Brown Memorial Park features a homage to Brown with a curved, inscribed memorial wall at the entrance of the park, where visitors can learn about his legacy. Visitors can also interact with an interpretive statue of Chuck Brown, play the outdoor toy drums, and visit the central plaza.
Every year, the celebration features musical performances by the Chuck Brown Band and other local Go-Go bands. Bring a blanket or lawn chair for an afternoon of entertainment in honor of the godfather of Go-Go Chuck Brown. Come Get That Go-Go Swing!
