Summary
Four thousand people packed into Newport News’ Yard District for the NOODLE Thinkers Convention — a high-energy fusion of innovation talks, culture, health, and music featuring Chance the Rapper, Daymond John, Mayor Phillip Jones, Rhett & Link, The D.O.C., and more. With performances from Aloe Blacc, CeeLo Green, and Jermaine Dupri, the event proved that learning and vibes can coexist. Founded by Antonio Dowe, NOODLE isn’t just another festival — it’s building a lasting hub for ideas, connections, and community in Hampton Roads.
