This August, St. Mary’s Park will transform into a rhythmic celebration as Bronx Hip Hop Festival VI returns to honor the borough’s cultural legacy. Bronx injury lawyers are proud to spotlight events like this — ones that bring people together, uplift families, and showcase the strength found in shared history and community.
In this post, we’ll walk through what to expect: when and where the event takes place, who’s performing, what family-friendly activities are planned, and how the festival strengthens Bronx pride and culture.
Event Date & Location
Date & Time
Mark your calendar for Saturday, August 2, 2025, from 12 PM to 7 PM. The festival takes place in the heart of summer and promises a full day of music, dancing, and family fun.
Venue
The event will be held at St. Mary’s Park, located at 450 St. Ann’s Avenue, Bronx. This South Bronx park, one of the largest in the borough, has recently seen major improvements including new playgrounds, performance spaces, and better walkways — making it an ideal spot for a community-centered festival.
Admission
Entry is completely free and open to everyone. The open-air format makes it welcoming and accessible, with plenty of space for families, artists, and longtime fans to enjoy the event together in a safe, outdoor setting.
Featured Performers & Activities
Headline Acts
Hip-hop royalty is coming home. The festival will be hosted by Easy AD and the Cold Crush Brothers, a group foundational to Bronx’s early hip-hop scene. The lineup includes Donald D and other legends whose sounds helped shape a global movement.
Live Performances
Expect a powerful mix of live DJs, MCs, break-dancers, and beat-boxers — all representing the roots and evolution of Bronx hip-hop. These performances go beyond entertainment — they connect generations and showcase talent that still lives in the streets where it all began.
God-Level DJs
The event will be run by hip-hop pioneers who were behind the decks in the genre’s earliest block parties. These DJ sets carry the essence of old-school Bronx sound, with deep cuts and vinyl mixes that younger fans rarely get to experience live.
Interactive Stations
Festivalgoers can jump into activities like dance battles, graffiti art walls, beat-making demos, and open mic cyphers. These interactive spots give everyone — kids, teens, and adults — a chance to join in rather than just watch.
Vendors & Food
A lineup of local Bronx food vendors will offer everything from empanadas and jerk chicken to vegan bites and smoothies. Merch booths, handmade crafts, and local art displays round out the experience, giving small businesses a platform and families plenty to enjoy.
Family Day Programming
There’s also a full Family Day component, with arts and crafts zones, community resource booths, and group dance workshops for kids and parents alike. These features mirror successful models used in other Bronx-based hip-hop festivals and are designed to keep the vibe positive and engaging for all ages.
Family-Friendly Format
Inclusive Tone
The event is promoted as a “family event — all are welcome”, and the planning reflects that promise. From scheduling to layout, it’s designed to be safe and accessible for attendees of all ages.
Kid-Centric Programming
Younger fans can join in beginner breakdance sessions or try their hand at graffiti techniques in age-appropriate workshops. It’s a great way for kids to learn about the artistic side of hip-hop in a welcoming environment.
Safe Environment
The festival takes place during daylight hours in a well-maintained, open park space. Admission is free, and the setting is casual, making it easy for families to drop by and stay as long as they’d like.
Community Support
St. Mary’s Park has become a trusted venue for summer gatherings, with past events supported by the Bronx Borough President’s office. Local leaders have helped ensure strong community turnout and safe, family-focused programming at this site.
Conclusion
Bronx Hip Hop Festival VI is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of music, community, and culture. It’s free, family-friendly, and deeply rooted in the borough’s legacy. We value events that honor resilience, expression, and unity — the same values we bring to every case and every client.
So make your plans for August 2, and enjoy the music, food, and community. And if you or a loved one need legal support before or after the event, reach out to Bronx Injury Lawyers, P.C. — we are always here to help.
