Last year, you and hundreds of others danced, rapped, tanned, enjoyed a free BBQ and maybe even threw around a frisbee. Well, let’s do it again, shall we?

In celebration of Hip-Hop culture, get ready for an entire day of rappers rapping, break dancers breaking, DJs spinning, graffiti artists tagging, and hip-hoppers being hip-hoppers. The second annual Hip-Hop in the Park event is back and bigger than before, now with tons of family games, hip-hop workshops and more.

Hip-Hop in the Park is a music and culture festival in Edmonton, Alberta held during the third week of every May, which celebrates Hip-Hop Appreciation Week. (This year’s event is at Louise McKinney Riverfront Park on Saturday, May 23, 2009.)

Hip-Hop Appreciation Week was founded by KRS-One’s Temple of Hip-Hop, and it marks the anniversary of when Hip-Hop became an official culture sanctioned by the United Nations. Below is a link for The Hip-Hop Declaration of Peace, an official UN document that clearly states the pillars and principles of Hip-Hop culture.
