Washington, D.C.’s own Tone P, President and CEO of GOGO Global, stopped by the Nina Brown and Joe Clair Show to talk about the newest addition to the city’s cultural calendar. National Mambo Sauce Day, celebrated every year on October 16.

National Mambo Sauce Day was created to honor the sweet, tangy, and spicy sauce that’s become a staple in D.C. kitchens, carryout, and hearts. The day celebrates more than just a condiment, it represents the flavor, rhythm, and pride of the District.

Tone P shared how this special day brings the community together through food, music, and culture. From parades and live performances to local restaurants serving their best Mambo-inspired dishes, the celebration is all about shining a spotlight on D.C.’s homegrown flavor and introducing it to the world.

National Mambo Sauce Day was officially founded in 2025 by Tone P and GOGO Global, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and promoting Go-Go culture and D.C.’s creative legacy.

So mark your calendars and celebrate the sauce that brings the city together every October 16.
