About the Funk Parade: 

In 2013 music lover and Washington DC Native, Justin Rood, partnered with Chris Naoum of Listen Local First, which encourages Washingtonians to hear, see and support local musicians. Together they met with dozens of local businesses, nonprofits and community leaders, who shared the vision of a Funk Parade, and a celebration of U Street’s history and present-day role as a home to live music and the spirit of coming together for the city. In 2014, over 25,000 Washingtonians participated in the first-ever DC Funk Parade. In 2015, over 50,000 Washingtonians from all corners of the city came together for the second Funk Parade. Be a part of the third!
