The Official All-Black Affair of the Master eXperience Weekend

-

The All-Black Affair is back for year five of the Master eXperience Weekend — hosted by the Kappa Tau Chapter, an unincorporated association of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and this year will be even bigger as the 4th District of Omega Psi Phi is hosting their District Meeting during the same weekend in Canton, Ohio.

We're opening the night with an upscale Pre-Reception featuring The Michael Austin Project inside the DoubleTree Canton Downtown lobby.  Come unwind, network, and set the tone before we head into the main celebration.

Then, the energy turns up with a live performance by The Unit Band, delivering the sound and soul everyone knows and loves.

And, to close the night, the world-renowned DJ Lo-Key brings the heat and keeps the floor moving until the last song.

This is an upscale, clean, and classy event, so come sharp and ready for a night you'll be talking about long after the weekend ends.

Please note:  Shuttle service will only run between the DoubleTree Canton Downtown (the host hotel) and La Pizzaria.
