Call for artists!

The deadline for 2009 entrants is April, 1. Due to the overwhelming number of applications and performers of last year, only 20 to 25 performers will be selected to perform at this year’s event. All entrants must also agree not to use foul language to ensure that Hip-Hop in the Park can continue on a family festival.

Apply here.
