Step into the vibrant heart of Hartford as we broadcast live from Pynknic 2025—a celebration that transforms Bushnell Park into a sea of melanated skin draped in every shade of pink imaginable. The energy is electric, the music is pumping, and the community spirit is undeniable as we set up our mics with the gold dome of the State Capitol as our backdrop.

What began as one woman's dream to "invite the world" to a picnic has blossomed into Hartford's premier cultural gathering. Between impromptu dance breaks and the DJ spinning Caribbean beats, we connect with the passionate entrepreneurs who make this event special. From Stush Dolls with their custom hookah flavors like "Love 66," to the creators of University of Dope—a card game that's "for people who like to argue but can't play spades"—we spotlight Black businesses thriving in creative spaces.

The true magic of Pynknic reveals itself through conversations with its founder, who shares how a Facebook flyer unexpectedly drew 500 attendees to the first event. Now in its third year, with full support from city officials, this free gathering has become a symbol of community resilience and joy. As model and talent manager Jasmine Hall puts it, "Hartford really needs to get the praise and shine and recognition it deserves. They're always getting the negative."

Between thought-provoking questions about picnic essentials and playful debates about brunch with exes versus karaoke with bosses, we capture the essence of a day where strangers become friends and local businesses find their audience. Come experience the beauty of community building, entrepreneurship, and unapologetic celebration of Black joy through our unfiltered microphones at Pynknic 2025.
