Takin’ It to the Streets is an urban festival capturing the heart of city-born artistic expressions and life. This year, we’ve brought the city rhythms, beats, and experiences together on a global level at the Hip Hop Pavilion. We’re featuring some of the best MCs and DJs around, B-Boys and B-girls from four continents, and international graffiti collaborations. Extending beyond the traditional elements, the Pavilion will also provide skateboard ramps for skaters.
The Hip Hop Pavilion will run from 9:00 AM – 6:15 PM.
