House In The Park Turns 20
In the most recent episode of Real Chicks Rock!® Presents Real Discussions, I have an exciting conversation with special guest and friend Ramon Rawsoul as he and his team celebrate a significant milestone: the 20th anniversary of House in the Park, a beloved event in Atlanta's community. Ramon shares stories from the past, including the event's start at Candler Park and its growth into a larger gathering at Grant Park. The shift in the energy of the attendees over the years – from a small start to accommodating thousands – speaks volumes about the community’s affection for this gathering and House Music.   As we get ready for this year’s celebration, a focal point of our conversation is the introduction of a new stage, made possible by a sponsorship with ViiV Healthcare, which promises an exciting addition to this year’s lineup. We discuss the inclusion of diverse performers, ensuring that fans of all genres feel welcomed and engaged throughout the day. Additionally, we touch on the variety of food options available and the incredible sense of community that permeates the event.   The anticipation for this year's event is about more than just reminiscing; it's about creating new memories together. It aims to be yet another unforgettable experience in the heart of Atlanta's vibrant culture.   Special Thanks to my guest, Ramon Rawsoul. Are you subscribed to the podcast?
