SOMETHING IN THE WATER will continue its mission to unite communities, celebrate diversity and empower everyone from the youth to small business owners in Washington, DC.

In 2020, Pharrell went on a mission to convince his home state of Virginia to recognize Juneteenth as a paid holiday. With success, he joined forces with other thought leaders, governors and large corporations to pledge to make Juneteenth an officially recognized holiday as well. The movement was powerful and took on a life of its own, with President Biden declaring Juneteenth a national holiday.

So this year, Pharrell will bring SOMETHING IN THE WATER to the nation’s capital, on an important weekend inthe country’s history, to recognize that something that has been flowing through the country’s soil for over 400 years. Pharrell will gather the biggest artists on the nation’s front doorstep to show what this day means and provide a glimpse of its potential.
