On Saturday June 18th, the famous Hookie Weekend early morning tradition, ‘Lion’s Pride J’ouvert’ takes place from 7AM at the Rosecroft Raceway.

Regarded as the best J’ouvert event in the DMV, Lion’s Pride offers an authentic West Indian experience complete with branded t-shirts & swag packages for registrants who excitedly revel in paint and powder to powerful music blasting from a big truck.
