Mother’s Day Family Cookout & Celebration : From Our Roots to Our Future.

📍 Franconia Amphitheater | Alexandria, VA
🗓️ Mother’s Day | 2:00 PM – 9:00 PM

From Our Roots to Our Future 🌍💐

Join us for a one-of-a-kind Mother’s Day celebration centered on culture, family, and legacy.

From Our Roots to Our Future is more than a cookout — it’s a celebration of what it means to raise children in the diaspora, honor where we come from, and pour into the next generation.

This experience brings together music, food, games, and community to create a space where moms feel celebrated, kids feel connected, and families build lasting memories.

Whether you're honoring mom, grandma, or a special mother figure, this event is all about love, community, good vibes, and unforgettable memories.

Bring your lawn chairs, your energy, and your appetite — we’re turning up the vibes ALL DAY LONG! 🎶🔥
