While in LA for the #GOTGVol2Event, we went to a little party for the Radio Disney Music Awards (RDMA 2017). The event was hosted by none other than Candice Huckeba, a radio personality on Radio Disney weekdays from 2-6. We had some appropriately named party snacks and played a little trivia. A perfect little set up easy to duplicate to host an RDMA 2017 party this weekend.

The 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards (RDMA), music’s biggest event for families, will take place SATURDAY, APRIL 29 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
