The event features various live musical performances, live art demonstrations, community workshops and food vendors. The Funk Parade, in which dancers, marching bands, beat-boxers and various other creative art forms, closes the festival in the afternoon.
==History==
The first Funk Parade was held on May 3, 2014. The co-founders of the event are Justin Rood and Chris Naoum, who brought together many city businesses, venues, art and community organizations to create the event.〔 In 2014, DC government forced the parade to follow a narrow and crowded route down V Street NW, but the 2015 parade took place on the main fair of U Street.〔
According to founders Rood and Naoum, the parade is meant to bring together all different types of DC community members to celebrate the city's musical history and the historical importance of U Street. DC natives Marvin Gaye and Duke Ellington are commonly seen as some of the most significant musicians to transform the music culture of U Street, making it the heart of live music in DC.〔
