Black Arts Festival, Festival in the Park, will begin at 11:00 a.m. in the Arcadia Creek Festival Site in downtown Kalamazoo, MI.  Teen special performances begin at 1:00 p.m. with Jasmine Franklin headlining the show.   The evening performance will be hosted by Simply Shanell.  Music provided by D.J. Chuck.  The evening performances will feature Funk 211 & Funkilinium.  Headlining Saturday evening is the ZAPP Band.  ZAPP is a soul and funk band formed in 1978 by brothers Roger Troutman, Larry Troutman, Lester Troutman, Tony Troutman and Terry "Zapp" Troutman. Known for hits such as "More Bounce to the Ounce", "Dance Floor" and "Computer Love", the group was a partial source of inspiration to West Coast hip-hop and G-funk, which came out of the hand clapped-drum beat styled funk of Zapp's records, with Roger's use of the talk box becoming another reason for the group's impact and its success.
