Full Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival ’11 Calendar

Brooklyn, NY July 7, 2011 
Brooklyn Bodega is still hard at work to bring you the best quality in Hip-Hop programming for the 7th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival (BHF). The Festival may be only days away but Bodega staff still have some major surprises up their sleeves. The burning question is “Who will be the “Friends” rocking the Brooklyn Bridge Stage with Q-Tip on Saturday July 16?”

“I can’t believe the Festival is less than a week away. When I look over at our infamous whiteboard, it boggles my mind the amount of talent we’re bringing to our Bodega Fam. Brooklyn Bodega does this every year for the people and for the love of Hip-Hop. Join us on Monday, July 11th as we kick-off Festival week with Show & Prove Super Bowl. I hope you rock with us all the way through to the After Party. ”
-Marilyn Alonzo, Marketing Manager, Brooklyn Bodega

Whether you’re in town on Saturday, July 16th to find out who the “Friends” are for the once-in-a-lifetime “Q-Tip & Friends” collaborations or will make it to the entire week of events, below is a complete rundown of this year’s programming.
