🥰 We’re STILL thinking about how much fun the August Wilson Birthday Celebration Block Party was. It's so heartwarming to see how the community shows up to celebrate the late Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright. The event featured over 215 vendors, children's activities, a foam party, lip sync battle, mac & cheese contest, poetry slam, food trucks, musical performances and more.
Additionally, in recognition of Small Business Month and to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Block Party, Dollar Bank and August Wilson House collaborated on a vendor support initiative designed to reduce barriers for entrepreneurs — especially minority-owned small businesses — to participate in one of Pittsburgh’s most anticipated cultural celebrations. 💙
Here’s to many more decades of celebrating the legacy of August Wilson and bringing the community together! And shoutout to our employee volunteers who lended a hand at the Block Party.
