You're invited to experience daytime and evening performances by local and national talent, presentations, and activities to explore hip-hop music and culture's origins, elements, and influences.
Radio personality Vic Jagger of Magic 102.3 will host performances on the main stage outside the museum on Madison Drive. There will also be hip-hop dance workshops with the nonprofit dance troupe Culture Shock DC in the museum’s Heritage Hall, as well as a panel discussion featuring some of hip-hop’s formative figures. Performances during the day will include Alphabet Rockers, a DMV Showcase curated by DJ Heat (featuring O-Slice, Phuzz, Nia Dinero, and Yung Manny), DJ sets by J.Period, and a musical experience by Mumu Fresh. The daytime session will be from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and the museum will close briefly and re-open for the evening session.
Evening performances will begin at 7:00 p.m. and will include a J.Period Live Mixtape with special guests, The Halluci Nation presented by the National Museum of the American Indian, and Grammy-nominated rapper D Smoke. The celebration concludes with a dance party featuring hip-hop pioneer DJ Spinderella. The evening session will be from 6:00 p.m. to midnight.
