Title
Celebrating the Strictly R&B Park Jam.
Summary
WHEREAS, Strictly R&B Park Jam is an annual Toledo music festival that attracts nearly 10,000 people each year to Promenade Park downtown; and
WHEREAS, the Park Jam is organized by Lance Self, Ryan Noble, Tracy Haynes, and Marcus Coleman, longtime friends that share a passion for concerts, community organizing, and the healing power of music; and
WHEREAS, the event has brought in many talented performers over its 6 years, like the multiplatinum R&B group Dru Hill, as well as Toledo’s own Shawn Kane; and
WHEREAS, the three-day festival’s programming goes beyond the on-stage musical acts- it includes open jam sessions, yoga classes, an art show, a silent music party, and plenty of shops and food vendors; and
WHEREAS, the organizers strongly believe that music is the best way for community to gather and heal while bringing awareness to mental health issues and the impact of violence in our communities.
NOW THEREFORE, Be it resolved by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1: That we recognize the founders of the Strictly R&B Park Jam for their hard work in continually hosting a wonderful festival in Toledo and their clear love and support for the community.
