VIP ticket holders will have an opportunity to listen to unreleased music, plus the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, a panel featuring Chuck D, Doug E. Fresh, DJ D-Nice and Tony M will discuss Prince and hip-hop.

Another panel with the fam, will discuss their efforts to preserve his legacy, and the last will consider the power and importance of “7,” Prince‘s favorite number.

The annual gathering of Prince fam brings together people from all over the world to honor Prince’s life, creative works, and outstanding legacy and share stories about his creative and cultural impact.

The number 7 was incredibly important to Prince, who was born on June 7, 1958, and would reference the number in significant ways throughout his immense body of work, including his song “7.”

This year marks 7 years of uplifting Prince’s legacy and carefully preserving his prolific artistic output and his creative sanctuary. At Celebration 2023, guests will take a deep dive into understanding the cultural significance of 7 and how it has been reflected throughout history.

We believe that Prince was the heart of what would become one of the most creative and talented communities in the world. This year, we want to highlight how you, the fam, are continuing the legacy in numerous ways. There will be opportunities to share how your contribution to Prince’s legacy has impacted others, time for creative expression, and a featured panel highlighting some incredible community members making a global impact.

“There’s more to come. We’re still working on it,” stated Londell McMillan of the Prince Legacy. “Part of this is the experience to celebrate Prince, not always about a show. Sometimes it’s about paying your respect to the greatest artist of all time.”

General Admission and VIP Tickets Are on Sale Now.
