The 23rd Annual Cali Picnic: Westurn Union (Recap)

(Atlanta, GA) – Yesterday, Morris Brown College played host to the 23rd Annual Cali Picnic: Westurn Union, welcoming thousands to join a festive gathering of music, food, games and hot cars. People of all ages convened throughout the day, some arriving earlier than 10AM to set up for a 2PM kickoff.

A variety of food vendors, including Coldstone Creamery, The Culinary King, Naanstop Indian Cuisine, Mally B’z Hookahs, Tacos & Tequila and others, served quality treats and meals for a span of six hours.

As is custom for the two decade long event, select sounds that span thirty to forty years of soul, funk and hip hop, blared through the speakers on Mo B’s historic grounds at the onset of the event. Read more

The CCAF Ignites Buzz For 23rd Annual Cali Picnic

In case you hadn’t heard, the 23rd Annual Cali Picnic: Westurn Union, is less than a week away. In our spirited takeover of the ATL, we’ve teamed up with some really good people to provide some dope events that will precede the #bestdayoftheyear.

We get approached every year to do an after party and other events that don’t always work out. The truth of the matter is The Cali Picnic has grown to heights that it’s never seen.

As such, we felt obliged to work with some folks that we thought would honor the rich legacy we’ve worked to build in our 23 years of existence. All that said, if it isn’t on this page, or somewhere on this site, it isn’t official.

In other words, party at your discretion.  Read more

West Up Down South Showcase

Since final months of promotion and eventual production of “America’s Most Wanted,” we’ve been planning a series of showcases that would allow us to feature up and coming artists. Given the platform the Cali Picnic provides to independent rappers, singers and comedians, we felt it necessary to develop a unique opportunity for them to shine, even if it was not attached to a performance at the Cali Picnic.

Saturday was the beginning of that movement and while we didn’t have the turnout we expected, but it was just what it was supposed to be.

Among the participants featured were OG Outlaw Bandit Loc, Sacramento’s own Yoey Composes, and Mash Muzicc – a seasoned indie who’s made a name for himself in ATL industry circles. Read more
