Overview

If you've got a thing for hip hop and fancy sussing out the freshest local talent, there's only one place you need to be on Saturday, March 12. That's when not-for-profit arts organisation L2R takes over Footscray Community Arts Centre for a huge all-ages block party.

It all kicks off at 12pm with a community barbecue feast on the lawn, before a jam-packed program of tunes and dance fires up the afternoon. You'll catch hip hop showcases, 2-on-2 battles, and performances by L2R crews and a host of emerging talent, spanning a mix of styles including breakin', vogue, house, dance hall and more. It's safe to say you won't be sitting still in your seat once these guys get going.

There'll be plenty of special guests on the bill, and a lineup of live acts and DJs to soundtrack the afternoon's festivities. Plus, a stack of local food trucks will be on hand to fuel those moves.

Under 18s can score free entry, while adult tickets clock in at an easy $10.
