SuperFolk-The Cypher

The Cypher, is a free event to honor Hip-hop as an American art form and expression of folk. You will experience music, rotating emcees, a DJ, a breakdance crew, local vendors, food trucks, and hands-on activities suitable for all ages.

Bask in the philosophies, practices, and history of Hip Hop culture at Pritchard Island Beach Park , a historically Black community and home to a rich legacy of Black traditions. The cypher is deeply rooted in hip-hop culture. It traces back to African oral and cultural practices emphasizing communication, knowledge, and truth, making this event a unique celebration of hip-hop and folk traditions.

NW Folklife is grateful to The City of Seattle for its generous support through the Arts in Parks grant, which has made this event possible.
