🎤 CALLING ALL MC’S TO THE CYPHER STAGE 🎤

Monday July 7, 2025

Think you’ve got bars? Step into the brand new Cypher Stage & Hip-Hop Showcase, presented by WH Calgary, at the Ground Up Graffiti Jam & Block Party, part of this year’s BUMP Festival.

This all-day takeover of street culture brings together graffiti writers from across Canada, a stacked beer garden, food trucks, and a breaking battle from PULSE Studios, all leading into an open-air cypher and a live hip-hop showcase featuring some of Calgary’s best to close the day off.

This Graffiti Jam & Block Party, created in partnership with @foundation.yyc will be one of BUMP Festival’s key events this summer.

We’re looking for rappers who are looking to LOCKKK IN.
