Multi-talented west coast hip-hop artist Anderson .Paak is the latest musician to produce and curate their own music event, as he announced today that he’ll welcome fans and families to Andy’s Oxnard Carnival at Oxnard, California’s Performing Arts & Convention Center this Saturday, November 17th beginning at 2 p.m. The event, hosted by Anderson .Paak and Beats, will take place the day after the release of his highly anticipated new studio album, Oxnard, which arrives this Friday, November 16th via Aftermath/12 Tone Music Group/Atlantic Records.
The free event plans to welcome fans and their families to experience rides, food, games, contest giveaways and more.
