Prince Born Day Block Party 2018

Since 2016 Famous Brooklyn born filmmaker Spike Lee has organized and hosted an annual celebration of the late musician Prince’s life and Legacy. I missed it the first 2 years but in 2018 I decided to grab my camera and head on over to Restoration Plaza in Bed Stuy to check it out.

Purple People Party 3 was held on a beautiful sunny June day and it was well worth the trip! Spike had DJ Spinna on hand to play Prince’s hits and Sway Calloway star of VH1’s Sway in the Morning Show to help Spike MC the party and hand out Nutcrackers to the crowd. The happy and delightfully diverse crowd of sang and danced to every one of Prince’s tracks and even got to be extras in a scene featuring the cast of Spike’s Netflix show “She’s gotta have it “ thanks to Spike and all the people in attendance at Restoration Plaza his legacy will remain alive going forward for all of us to enjoy.
