Preakness 147 Delivered the best of Art, Music and Culinary Stars for 2022

Baltimoreans celebrated the first Preakness Live event, a music, culinary and art festival during Black-eyed Susan Day at Preakness 147. Preakness Live was created in partnership with Kevin Liles, Chairman and CEO of 300 Media and Elektra Music Group, 1/ST and Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott. The goal of the event was to embrace the best of Baltimore’s acclaimed chefs, artists, musicians and integrate them with Maryland’s event of the year, the Preakness Stakes.

Preakness Live had a variety of top performers including Megan Thee Stallion, Lauryn Hill, D-Nice with Darin Atwater and the Soulful Symphony Orchestra, Brittney Spencer and DJ Quicksilver. The lovely Brittney Spencer graced the stage and sang the best of her country music hits. As a country music songwriter with the voice of an angel, she has earned a tremendous fan following and was named one of the “5 Black Artists Rewriting Country Music” by The Recording Academy.
