About This Event

As 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop and August 11 is National Hip-Hop day, Rock The Bells celebrates by partnering with Nasdaq to recognize and honor the culture and community cultivated by this unique artform by ringing the opening bell at the Nasdaq MarketSite Times Square.
