Baltimore's favorite R&B group, *Dru Hill, *played a standout performance, bringing the crowd to its feet, singing along with their hits like "Tell Me" and "These Are the Times." Lead singer *Sisqó* didn't leave the stage without a provocative performance of his iconic, platinum-selling hit "Thong Song."
Elsewhere throughout the weekend, *Big Freedia *brought the bounce from New Orleans, *Blxst* proved to be one of LA's finest, and GRAMMY-award-winning heartthrob *Leon Thomas* swooned the crowd with his hypnotic, guitar-driven hits. R&B stalwarts *K. Michelle*, *Ryan Leslie*, and* Lil' Mo* serenaded audiences with their pristine vocals and lush melodies. Southern hip-hop legend *Lil Scrappy* delivered one of the most hype moments of the weekend, as fans vigorously rapped along to his crunk hit singles like "No Problem" and "Knuck If You Buck." Rising star *Reyna Roberts* brought the country flair with her cherry red hair and electrifying performance of hits like "Raised Right," and performances from *The Sainted Trap Choir, Domani, *and* DJ Sophia Rocks* proved the future is bright.
Taking place just days before Juneteenth, Blavity House Party also shined a spotlight on Nashville's vibrant Black community with an assortment of over 20 Black-owned vendors, restaurants, and activities for fans to engage and enjoy. Fans were eating well with Nashville favorites like *Slim & Husky's**, **Slutty Vegan**, *and *Down N The Bayou* and buying goods at the "*Off The Shelves"* marketplace, plus having a time during double dutch and line dancing sessions on the patio in their custom Tito's Vodka cowboy hats. Those who dared ride the mechanical bull, as *Nash Feels,* brought some of the most memorable dance party moments of the weekend.
From the cowboy chic fits and southern cuisine to the Black-owned marketplace and vast selection of house party music that touched the stage, the inaugural Blavity House Party was one for the books and celebrated the Nashville community.
