Described as "a day to celebrate independent hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics & Independent Music Everywhere", the 4th annual Hiero Day is set to take place Labor Day, Sept 7th, 2015 in Downtown Oakland. An all-ages music festival scheduled to included 25+ artists, bands and DJ's, this year plans to include a Ferris Wheel, The Beats Lab, and exclusive DJ Tent, 3 stages of performers, a skate park and a number of local vendors.
