This year’s Roots Picnic was a celebration of music, culture, and community that brought fans from all over the world together for two days of electric performances and camaraderie.
Grand Marnier joined in on the festivities with another iteration of its signature event series, Encounters on the Road, treating fans to a resort themed oasis with covered seating, custom cocktails, branded merch, and more.
The luxury spirits brand was born out of an unexpected pairing of ingredients, when Louis Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle had a vision to blend Cognac with Orange Liqueur, creating an iconic blend of flavors. The Grand Encounter is an unexpected and exciting meeting of flavors that inspires us to look out for other unexpected combinations all around us.
At the Grand Encounter, fans +21 responsibly sampled Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge and ordered the brand’s signature summer cocktails including the Grand Margarita, Grand & Ginger, and On the Rocks.
In addition to cocktails, Grand Marnier provided attendees with photo moments to create lifelong memories from an unforgettable weekend. The Grand Encounter activation was amongst the most attended all weekend long, with lines of fans eagerly awaiting their chance to enjoy all things Grand Marnier.
This year’s Roots Picnic delivered a stacked lineup of eclectic artists and unexpected musical pairings. Renowned pianist Robert Glasper backed a beautiful set from rising star Yebba that left fans in awe. Musical director, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Adam Blackstone curated a set with R&B superstar Fantasia and Gospel singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard. Finally, the legendary Roots closed out the Picnic with an epic performance, joining forces with Billboard-chart-topping artist Lil Wayne.
For those unable to partake in the festivities firsthand, Billboard social media provided an exclusive glimpse into the Roots Picnic experience, including highlights from Grand Marnier’s Encounters on the Road.
Whether enjoying Grand Marnier at your favorite summer festival or at home with your crew, please do so responsibly.

From signature cocktails to stunning photo ops, the Grand Encounter was the place to be at this year’s #RootsPicnic. Dive into the exclusive experience and see how @grandmarnierusa brought the flavor to Philly.
