To add to the philanthropic efforts of the eventful weekend, Pharrell’s YELLOW non-profit, along with The Recording Academy, will host an invite-only pre-festival brunch on Saturday (April 29), to recognize emerging music creators in the region.

On the festival’s concluding day, guests will be welcomed to SITW’s annual pop-up church service with scheduled guests Karen Clarke and Bishop J Drew Sheard, Kirk Franklin, Lecrae, Pastor Mike Jr., Tye Tribbett, The Virginia Aires, Voices of Fire accompanied by Adam Blackstone, Darrell Robinson, Morgan Turner, and more.
Three day passes are on sale now at Something In The Water‘s official website. For non-ticket holders, YouTube will livestream the festival all weekend on Pharrell’s official channel.
