Raw. Alive. Community-rooted.
Rawkus City, produced by Funk Format and supported by The Guildhall Trust, is the only FREE festival on the south coast dedicated to hip-hop dance and hip-hop theatre. A celebration of street culture, creativity and community.
From explosive battles and world-class performances to taster workshops, cyphers and artist development opportunities, Rawkus City brings together dancers, artists, families and culture lovers from across the UK and beyond.
Whether you’re a seasoned dancer, an emerging artist, or simply curious to experience the energy of hip-hop first hand, you’ll find something here that moves you.
