Thousands of music fans across the St. Louis region once again returned to Grand Center for the third annual Music at the Intersection festival.

Festival organizers said the event drew about 12,000 attendees over the weekend 鈥� about 3,500 more than last year鈥檚 festival.

Performances by Smino, Thundercat, Herbie Hancock, Masego, Angela Winbush, the Mighty Pines, Arrested Development, Ravyn Lenae, Cameo, Taj Mahal, Grandmaster Flash, Eric Donte and the Maxi Glamour Experience and others brought fans to the four stages on the festival grounds.

The event included a tribute to 50 years of hip-hop with DJs spinning rap records between performances, and radio veterans Edie Bee Anderson and Gentleman Jim Gates received the festival鈥檚 Legend Award for bringing hip-hop to the mainstream when they first played Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper鈥檚 Delight鈥� on WESL in East St. Louis. Mayor Tishaura Jones also proclaimed Sept. 9 Angela Winbush Day and presented her with a proclamation.

鈥淪t. Louis giants were well represented, playing next to living legends and the best of A-list contemporary artists across a variety of genres,鈥� Kranzberg Arts Foundation Executive Director Chris Hansen said in a statement. 鈥淎 real celebration of community 鈥� and not a bad note played all weekend.鈥�

A spokesperson said fans can expect another festival next year.
