BALTIMORE — The AFRAM Festival is returning to Baltimore in June, and WJZ is the proud media sponsor of the event. 

WJZ anchor Vic Carter stood alongside city leaders, and event organizers Tuesday afternoon as the event headliners were announced.

AFRAM, a free festival that highlights local artists and makers alongside superstars, is one of the largest African-American cultural arts fairs on the East Coast.  

The theme is a celebration of the anniversary of Baltimore Club music and a tribute to 50 years of hip hop. 

Legendary musical group The Isley Brothers and rapper Ty Dolla $ign are headlining the 46th annual AFRAM this year in Baltimore, city leaders and organizers announced Tuesday.

“AFRAM is extremely important for the City of Baltimore as it is one of our most time-honored traditions. This festival provides a unique opportunity for Baltimoreans and visitors to celebrate African American heritage and culture in our city,” said Mayor Brandon Scott. “I look forward to AFRAM’s amazing lineup which I’m confident people of all ages will enjoy.”
