🎉What a day in the Hill District!
This past weekend, the community came together for the 10th Annual August Wilson Birthday Celebration Block Party presented by Dollar Bank. From live performances and spoken word to the Mac & Cheese Competition, local vendors, food trucks, and family activities, the day was filled with energy, culture, and community.
Held in celebration of the life and legacy of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson, the event brought the community together in the historic Hill District to honor a tradition that continues to grow year after year.
Thank you to everyone who attended, performed, volunteered, supported local vendors, and helped make this year’s celebration unforgettable. ❤️
