To kick off the weekend of hip-hop, Dauphin County will hold the Cultural Fest today. Hip-hop vet Doug E. Fresh will headline the festival, which runs from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the corner of Second and Market streets in Harrisburg. The Cultural Fest is a free event. After the rapper/beatboxer performs, he will give another show this evening with collaborator Slick Rick. In 1985, the duo released two hip-hop gems: “The Show” and “La Di Da Di.”

The African American Chamber of Commerce of Central Pa. will host the Slick/Doug E. concert. Doors open at 9 p.m. at the Pennsylvania State Museum’s Memorial Hall in Harrisburg. Tickets are $25 in advance for general admission and $40 for VIP. Visit www.chamberforus.org or local independent music stores for tickets.
