The Second Annual Sacramento Black Cowboys Parade is going to be bigger and more exciting this July starring the legendary R&B group THE MAIN INGREDIANT performing for the first time in Sacramento in years! This incredible group will be performing all their hit songs including "Everybody Plays The Fool," "Spinning Around," and of course "Just Don't Want To Be Lonely."

This event is the number one event in the region keeping Black History alive, and it will keep you excited and screaming for more! Watch the parade travel through the Oak Park community from the Oak Park Community Center to Broadway down 35th Street all the way to McClatchy Park with horses prancing; people dancing; drill teams marching and the bands playing. For the second time in history a major parade will take over the neighborhood to bring family fun for everyone. Then everyone comes to the park for the Down Home Blues Music Festival and the "Big Boss" Barbecue Cook-Off." With bands and singers on stage you can line dance, step and party in the park. The kids can enjoy pony rides, a petting area and watch the horses dance and show their stuff. The barbecue chefs will put up their best recipes to win the trophy as the "Big Boss" of Barbecue. Get your tickets now so you don't miss this round-up.
