The much popular Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival is vitally an optimistic music extravaganza that promises the visitors a whale of a time. Idyllically set along the river in view of the New York City’s astonishing skyline, the festival is a living example of how one can turn angst into art and how people can find happiness in food, music, community and street art. The Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival is no doubt New York City’s largest Hip-Hop cultural event showcasing the infinite aspects of Hip-Hop culture.

Apart from the regular musical and dance performances, the festival even offers a myriad of fun activities including panel discussions, after parties, award shows and exhibitions. People who have visited the festival in the past truly believe that this event is much more than a concert as it is a family reunion for loved ones.
