The renaming ceremony will be held where Obama Boulevard will intersect with Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the Baldwin Hills/Crenshaw neighborhood of South Los Angeles.

The location is home to Rancho Cienega Park, where in 2007 then-Senator Obama held a rally en route to his historic run to the presidency.

The May 4 festivities are set to begin at noon and will include a street festivaland entertainment, according to ticketing website Eventbrite.com.

The event is free and includes performers Doug E. Fresh, Yo-Yo, BJ The Chicago Kid, Battlecat, Kurupt, Alex Isley, Gavlyn, T-Lyons, Baby S, DJ Tee, Verbs, Dj Qwesscoast and more, according to the website.

Those planning to attend are asked to register through the website and reserve their spot.
