AFRAM, which bills itself as one of the largest African American festivals on the East Coast, was held June 17 and 18 at Druid Hill Park. This year’s festival paid homage to Baltimore’s homegrown sound with Baltimore Club Music Day. There were performances from local DJs and dancers as well as from national acts like The Isley Brothers, Tamar Braxton, and Ty Dolla $ign.
