On Saturday, August 19th, Plainfield showed up and danced for a healthier Queen City. What a great event! 8,000 people strong, we enjoyed amazing food, and browsed wares from a variety of vendors with an array of merchandise, we loved the DJ's who kept us rocking all evening into the night with music that moved us, we shared community spirit, and for the finale - was awestruck by an amazing FIREWORKS display!

The House Music with a purpose event is to elevate the level of awareness for health issues affecting black and brown communities. Mayor Adrian O. Mapp encouraged male attendees to visit their doctors and get educated about prostate health. He also spoke about the other diseases that seem to target our black and brown communities. Remarks were also provided by Council President Barry Goode, Assemblywoman Linda Carter, and Union County Commissioner Chair Rebecca Williams. Council members who joined the festivities were Council Vice President Charles McRae, Councilwoman Joylette Mills-Ransome, Councilwoman Terri Briggs-Jones, Councilwoman Ashley Davis, and Councilman Steve Hockaday.

A special thank you to the DJs - Fatt Rodney, Truth, Luv is Luv, Nubian, Roc Anthony and Timmy Regisford who keep the crowd dancing into the night.
