The countdown has officially begun for the most anticipated soul music family reunion of the year. The Maurice Watts 2027 Classic R&B Music Festival is returning for its incredible 18th year, taking place from September 24-28, 2027.

For nearly two decades, this festival has stood as a beacon of authenticity in the music industry. Run completely independent and sponsor-free, this event is designed for Classic R&B music lovers. This year, we are bringing the global Maurice Watts Classic R&B Music Festival family back to the breathtaking Kalahari Resorts in Pocono Manor, PA for five days of non-stop hits, luxury living, and unforgettable memories.

If you are planning your ultimate 2027 music vacation, here is why our world-class host resort offers the perfect backdrop for The Event of The Year.

Included with your resort stay, this massive 220,000-square-foot indoor oasis features a swim-up bar, lazy rivers, and premium private cabanas. It is the perfect place to lounge, grab a cocktail, and vibe out with fellow festival-goers under sunny, 84-degree conditions all year round.
