This year will be like no other, as Made In America celebrates 10 years of music history-making moments," Jay-Z stated. "The artists’ performances will be even bigger and Cause Village will host a wider range of amazing philanthropic organizations. We look forward to sharing incredible memories with our festival attendees and the city of Philadelphia."
According to a press release, the event has generated more than $135 million in economic impact for the city of Philadelphia, since the inaugural two-day concert in 2012.
