With over 50 artists performing and with food and art being displayed around the park, there will be more than enough for everyone to do.
As far as other crowd favorites in attendance, there will be four stages set up with certain artists. On the black stage, Sir the Baptist and Tank and the Bangas will be performing. The gold stage will have musicians like The Internet, Roman GianArthur and Xavier Omar. Green stage will have music legends Ice Cube and Ceelo Green.
