The General Public
Creating culturally rich experiences that bring communities together
DOPE BBQ was born from a vision to create the ultimate day party experience - a celebration of culture, music, and community that brings together beautiful people from every corner of New York City.
Founded by Patrice "LeDon" Laquinte and Lenworth "Lenny J" James, The General Public has become synonymous with premium, high-energy events that celebrate Black culture and bring the vibes that NYC craves.
From the iconic Knockdown Center to the legendary Coney Island Art Walls and The Well Brooklyn, DOPE BBQ has hosted thousands of party-goers and featured headliners like 50 Cent, Trey Songz, Ashanti, and Jim Jones.
