The Roots Picnic began in 2008 as a music festival created by the hip-hop group The Roots. It started in their hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and quickly became one of the most unique festivals in the country. The event brings together music, culture, art, and community in a single location. The Roots perform every year as the house band, often backing up special guests or doing surprise collaborations. The festival combines hip-hop, R&B, soul, jazz, and even comedy, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for fans.

Over the years, the Roots Picnic has featured artists such as Lauryn Hill, J. Cole, H.E.R., Usher, and Anderson.Paak. It's well-known for presenting both rising artists and icons on the same stage. The ambiance is easygoing and creative, featuring live podcast tapings, panel lectures, local food vendors, and art displays throughout the festival grounds. It's a celebration of Black music, culture, and community, not only a concert. People come from all over to enjoy the positive energy and unforgettable performances.

In 2025, the Roots Picnic is set to return to Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on the weekend of June 7 and 8. This year’s lineup includes The Roots, Megan Thee Stallion, Nas, Jill Scott, Lil Wayne, and many more. The event also features live podcasts, including Drink Champs and Million Dollaz Worth of Game. With music, food, comedy, and culture all in one place, the 2025 Roots Picnic promises another powerful and joyful weekend for fans of all ages.
