Edible Audible Picnic: Chicago Hip Hop--All Headz on Deck July 24, 2010

Edible Audible Picnic, the poly-rhythmic music series returns to Millennium Park at noon this summer, featuring DJs and live bands as diverse and entrancing as the electronic genre in which they play. Presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Millennium Park, this free series expands to include 16 concerts on Mondays and select Saturdays at noon, beginning June 7 through September 4, 2010.

The Chicago Hip Hop Initiative successfully lobbied the City of Chicago to declare July Hip Hop Heritage Month, back in 2003. Each July since, the group has acted as an umbrella for a variety of concerts, showcases, forums, and discussions aimed at preserving hip hop's historical and artistic legacy in Chicago while continually promoting an agenda of family, community, positivity and peace.
