A3C Festival and Conference

The A3C Festival and Conference will be held October 21-24 at The Gathering Spot on the Westide in the Northyards complex south of North Avenue between Marietta Street and Northside Drive. The festival will host a range of artists and keynote speakers in celebration of hip-hop music, history, and culture. As well as musical performances and lectures, there will also be music and business workshops that will focus on the future and current status of the music industry. The festival portion will include performers Dave East, Deante' Hitchcock, Akeem Ali, Domani, and others. It will be interesting to see how A3C fares under new ownership this year.
