What to Expect This Year
This year, Hip-Hop Week isn’t just about the music—it’s a vibrant mix of art exhibits, basketball tournaments, poetry readings, and more. And of course, live musical performances will be happening across the city. It’s a perfect opportunity to soak in some rich culture while you meet new friends and enjoy all the fun activities!
The highlight of the week will be the legendary rapper Bun B, who will headline the event with a special fireside chat on Friday, October 11.
