The New Royals are Cincinnati's vintage funk band, channeling Aretha Franklin, The Meters, Sharon Jones and other legends of the genre. The nine-piece group formed in 2015 in the Queen City, the crucible of funk and home of Bootsy Collins, King Records and the earliest known funk produced by the Godfather of Soul himself, James Brown. The New Royals bring sweat, soul and reverence back to the city where it all started over half a century ago.

7-9pm. Free event + all ages welcomed! The concession stand will be open and serving.
