The former New Edition singer was giving his first performance since Bobbi Kristina was hospitalised on January 31, reported New York Daily News.
During his performance Brown told the audience, "I don't know what the hell I am going through right now, but I am giving it to God and letting him deal with it."
"I must say, you all. This feels really, really good. I want to thank all of you all for coming out tonight to support me and my family," the 46 year old singer said.
Brown performed in front of an audience of around 4,000 people, playing hits such as 'Don't Be Cruel' and 'On Our Own'.
The singer, who appeared visibly choked up at some points, told the audience, "There is only one thing I ask of you all tonight, and that is to enjoy yourselves."
The singer's appearance at the festival was to promote his Bobby Brown Foods line, which includes barbecue sauce and seasonings. Brown also told the audience that his wife Alicia Etheredge-Brown would be manning a booth serving sausages and chicken using his eponymous seasonings.
