On Saturday, February 24, the block of 191 E. Toole Ave. will transform into the Tucson Hip Hop Festival.
Don’t expect only music — the event will encompass hip hop on multiple levels with panel talks, live graffiti writing, break dance battles, and performances from deejays and producers.
While the festival is locally-focused, a handful of exceptional talent from outside of Tucson will also perform.
General admission is $15 for the event.
This year, the THHF organizers reached out to Tucson Foodie to help curate the Culinary Experience with the theme of A Tribe Called Quest.
Food vendors include Geronimo’s Revenge, Kiss of Smoke BBQ & Catering, the Drunken Chicken, and Kettlicious Kettle Corn.
