World Famous Hip-Hop Family Day

World Famous Hip-Hop Family Day, now in its fifth year, is a free annual festival that brings the amazingly creative art form of hip-hop to Main Street through hands-on art exhibits, educational activities, live music, dance performances and more! It will feature performances from headliner Kid 'N Play, Lil' Ru, Big Bub and Positive K. Columbia's own Cole Connor, the Dynamic Rockers B-Boy Dance Crew, the Charismatic Dance Troop, Grand Prize Winners From Last Year, DJ Prince Ice of The Big DM and Hot 103.9 and the winner of Hot 103.9’s Rock the Block contest will also perform.

Love, Peace & Hip-Hop will host a week of events the week before the festival including a graffiti mural unveiling on Millwood Avenue, EdVenture Children’s Museum Kick-Off Party, Allen University’s Hip-Hop Studies Conference, a beat battle at New Brookland Tavern and LPHH Founder and regional hip-hop artist FatRat Da Czar’s book release of "Da Cold Warrior" and album re-release to commemorate the tenth anniversary of "Da Cold War" trilogy at Tapp’s Art Center.

The festival brings 10,000+ attendees of all ages and races to enjoy the best and brightest live performers, DJs, B-Boy dance crews, hip-hop visual artists and craft, fashion and food vendors. In addition to offering food, fun and music, Love, Peace & Hip-Hop annually donates all soft drink and water proceeds to two non-profit organizations that offer direct services to the community. This event was created to ensure that hip-hop, represented properly, can be the medium through which all ages and races can come together for a day of peace, love, unity and having fun – all to support our community.
