The nation\u2019s most hotly contested HBCU football rivalry, between the Florida A&M University Rattlers and the nearby Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats, comes to Orlando with a packed weekend of events. <\/p>\n

The big game includes the extravagant Disney halftime show featuring marching bands from both teams, and there will be fan meetups, parties, concerts, a big-time car show, club nights, brunches and even a golf tournament. <\/p>\n

The concerts and afterparties taking over the city for Classic Weekend include some major-league R&B and hip-hop headliners. Just a few: Musiq Soulchild performs at a welcome mixer Thursday at Mango\u2019s, and Paul Wall, Ying Yang Twins, Slim Thug, Lil Flip play the Vanguard later that night. <\/p>\n

On Saturday night, Trey Songz hosts a \u201cParty in the Country\u201d at Mango\u2019s, Kodak Black and Hotboii perform at Rum Jungle on International Drive, and Jermaine Dupri and Trick Daddy take over the Majestic Events Center. To close out the weekend, Atlanta rap legend Jeezy takes the stage at the Kia Center on Sunday, joined by Plies, Boosie Badazz and the Girl JT for a night of Southern hip-hop royalty, and for the diehards, G Herbo and Bunna B play late Sunday at Rum Jungle. <\/p>\n

Footbal game: 3:30 p.m., Camping World City Stadium, 1 Citrus Bowl Place, campingworldstadium.com, $46-$156.<\/p>\n
