On Saturday, July 26, 2025, the House of Inspiration (H.O.I.) Radio Network and Inét Entertainment Corp. hosted their 3rd Annual Family Music & Arts Festival, transforming Boston into a hub of live music, wellness, and community pride. The free, all-day event drew families from across the city with its vibrant mix of entertainment, resources, and inspiration.
This year’s theme, “Mental Health Awareness: Healing Our Community,” set the tone for a gathering that went beyond music. Internationally acclaimed saxophonist Elan Trotman brought smooth jazz brilliance to the stage, while mental health advocate Dr. Sunshine delivered a powerful message of hope and resilience. Founder Monet Ledbetter-Glaude, known to fans as Ms. Angel Monet, curated the event to blend art, culture, and mental health education in one uplifting space.
The festival also introduced the grand prize winner of the “Lemme Do My Thang” Virtual Sang Off Contest, Kenitra Bilé, spotlighting rising talent alongside established artists. Guests enjoyed local food vendors, raffles, children’s games, and direct access to wellness services, making the festival both a celebration and a resource hub.

“This festival isn’t just about star-studded performances,” Ledbetter-Glaude shared. “It’s about creating a safe, joyful space for Boston families to heal, connect, and be inspired.”
From kids dancing near the stage to neighbors sharing laughter over plates of local fare, the event was a living example of Boston’s unity and spirit. With its unique blend of Hollywood talent, hometown culture, and mental health advocacy, the H.O.I. Family Music & Arts Festival is quickly becoming one of the city’s most anticipated summer traditions.
