The event will have food trucks, drinks, and an opening showcase of local hip-hop artists.
The hip-hop artists will be presented by 10 at 10, a “multi-dimensional platform that amplifies the arts, music and Black culture in Canada.”
If you can’t get enough hip-hop and the Olympic Plaza party isn’t enough, 10 at 10 will host another event on August 29 with the National Music Centre completely dedicated to the genre. There will be even more local live acts and graffiti art.
