Windsor Hip Hop
Windsor Hip Hop is the home base for the culture — music, artists, DJs, dancers, vendors, videos, stories, events, history, and the people building the movement right now. This site is built to document the culture, spotlight the talent, respect the history, and keep everything organized in one place.
The Windsor Hip Hop Festival is a community-driven celebration of hip hop culture, local talent, creativity, and unity in Windsor-Essex. We are looking for artists from all elements of hip hop, including MCs, DJs, dancers, breakdancers, graffiti artists, producers, poets, beatboxers, hosts, photographers, videographers, designers, and creatives who represent the culture.
We are also welcoming vendors of all kinds. All vendor spots are FREE again for this year only. This is part of our mission to support small businesses, community groups, local brands, youth programs, and entrepreneurs.
Vendor note: Vendors must bring their own table and their own power. Space may be limited, so please sign up early.
Festival Sign-Up Is Open
Artists, vendors, volunteers, DJs, dancers, graffiti artists, producers, poets, beatboxers, hosts, photographers, videographers, designers, community groups, small businesses, and creatives can now sign up for the Windsor Hip Hop Festival.

How To Get Featured
Send your clean info the right way so it can be posted fast: artist name, track or video title, short bio, links, and one clear image or flyer.
If you have multiple links, organize them and label everything clearly. The goal is quality and consistency.
Respect The Archive
This is about documentation, not drama. Credit people properly, name the era, and keep the story accurate. If something needs a correction, update it — that is how a real culture archive stays solid.
Windsor Hip Hop is bigger than one moment. This page is built to show the full picture.
