The TCCHH combines informational workshops, entertainment, food, and networking in a positive environment. Throughout the festival MCs, DJs, Breakdancers, and Beatboxers will battle it out for cash and prizes. Other activities in the past have included a free outdoor market place on 8th street between Hennepin and First Avenue, a low rider car show, and voter registration and election information, HIV/AIDS testing, and more. For two years the Mayor of Minneapolis has declared it Hip-Hop Weekend, earning worldwide attention.
