ABOUT THIS SHOW

Summer Cypher and The Cedar are excited to welcome you to the second annual final outdoor celebration of hip-hop culture in all its facets of music, dance, graffiti, DJing, and MCing. Returning to the neighborhood where the genesis of Summer Cypher took place, there will be music flowing throughout the day, breakers and hip-hop dancers, as well as live spray painting, and a variety of vendors to check out. Come on out to The Cedar plaza for a low-key, easy time and catch artist performances and live painting; grab some merch, food, and drinks from local small businesses; and connect with each other around a love for hip-hop.

Schedule:

12:00pm - Cedar Cypher begins

8:00pm - Cedar Cypher ends


SUMMER CYPHER

Summer Cypher creates authentic Hip-hop spaces where people in community immerse themselves into a process of self-exploration, and critical reflection, within the raw elements of Hip-hop. Self exploration and having a critical analysis of the world and its impact on oneself, is a major part of the process of mastering any aspect of Hip-hop (Dance, Graffiti, Djing, MCing, History/Philosophy).
