All The Way Live Foundation, in partnership with the San Francisco Arts Commission and Creative Grounds, is thrilled to announce the return of Hip Hop on the Plaza, a series of free, all-ages events celebrating the rich history and diverse artistry of Hip Hop dance in San Francisco. Beginning on Friday, October 4th, and running through December 2024, Hip Hop on the Plaza will feature a dynamic lineup of programming, including weekly dance workshops and bi-monthly dance battles that will transform Fulton Plaza into a hub of creative expression and community engagement.
Hip Hop on the Plaza is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage and vibrant creativity that defines San Francisco's diverse communities. These events provide local youth with a creative outlet for identity and emotional expression. We look forward to welcoming talented artists from across the city as well as youth and families of Mid Market as Hip Hop on the Plaza fosters a sense of unity, pride, and belonging that is so essential to the fabric of our City.
