Yo' Fest is a community celebration of youth culture hosted by ProjectRespect. This will be the second annual Yo' Fest. Following in the footsteps of last year success, this promises to be another fun filled event. Yo' Fest is an exciting opportunity for youth to enjoy some of the best of what young Victoria has to offer. The day's events will include:
- Live musical performances by rappers, singers, songwriters, and musicians.
- Breakdancing, and other dance exhibitions.
- DJ's spinning the best Hip Hop, Electronica, and any other type of music that makes the people move.
- Dramatic skits
- Poetry readings
- An open microphone session for any youth to voice their opinions, or perform their talents
- And much more!
Different community agencies will have table displays to raise awareness of the resources available for youth. Media is invited to report on the activities of the day, and the positive messages youth want to share with their community. Yo' Fest is designed to allow these messages to reach a wide youth audience, in a fun approachable way. It also allows youth to speak directly to other youth through performances and displays.
The party starts at 12pm, April 6th, in Centennial Square, rain or shine.
