Dads’ Night Out Weekend

Team led by Annie Ruth Napier

Dads' Night Out Weekend is a free series of events designed to celebrate and encourage fathers to participate with their children in engaging and culturally relevant activities. 

This three-day celebration in Roselawn is committed to educating fathers on the power of their influence and role in the lives of their children. The weekend embraces the "leading by example approach," reinforcing the message of positive fatherhood, including a concert of male performing artists, actors, and musicians. 

The second component of the positive fatherhood weekend is a special "Brunch with Baba," a sit-down meal designed for fathers to enjoy with young children.

The importance of literacy is reinforced during the final session of the weekend. Fathers will be given books to take home and read with their children.

The goal of Dads’ Night Out is to create enriching diverse arts and learning experiences during Father's Day weekend that will positively impact the lives of fathers and children- particularly Black fathers and families - marginalized in poverty-stricken neighborhoods.
