Highlighting the Hip-Hop Diaspora

Contois AuditoriumCity Hall, 149 Church Street

10:00pm - 12:30am Back to All Events

The Hip-Hop Diaspora is a vibrant celebration of hip-hop’s 51st year, showcasing its global influence and cultural impact. Originating in the Bronx, New York, hip-hop has evolved into a universal movement that transcends boundaries and unites people through its five foundational elements: knowledge, the DJ, the emcee, breakdancing, and graffiti art.

This Bright Ideas Project was crowdsourced from Vermonters and is generously presented by EastRise.


If you find yourself in Contois Auditorium for a Highlight event, make sure to enjoy a bite from Sherpa Kitchen, Thingz From Yaad  and Only Cannoli . Drink will also be available from The Hyde Away, featuring selections from Foam Brewers, Titos Handmade Vodka and Citizen Cider.


Programming at Contois Auditorium is presented by Burlington Electric Department & Vermont Gas Systems.
