The 4th Annual Howard Homecoming Blaque Mecca Block Party, presented by D’USSÉ Cognac, is the ultimate outdoor tailgate and block party experience—taking place before, during, and after the football game. This vibrant celebration will bring together Howard and Morgan State alumni and friends from across the country for an unforgettable afternoon of music, cocktails, food, and culture. Guests will enjoy six DJs spinning the best in Hip Hop and RnB, signature D’USSÉ cocktails and brand activations, a variety of food trucks, games, and a live viewing of the football game. Last year’s event drew more than 15,000 RSVPs and 3,000 attendees and this year promises to be even bigger. Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so secure yours today.
