Pusha T to Perform at Pepsi Dig In Day Block Party to Celebrate Black-Owned Restaurants

Pusha T will be headed back to the States following his European tour run to headline the first-ever free Pepsi Dig In Day Block Party in Washington, D.C. The event is timed to National Black Business this August, and Pepsi Dig In Day is aimed at celebrating and supporting Black-owned restaurants.

“I’m expecting for it to be a time for music, community and networking just to clash all at once,” Pusha T said in an interview with Blavity, as spotted by Hip-Hop Wired. “The actual event space of Anacostia is one of my favorite event spaces. It’s where a lot of events are held where the creative and the business minds of the DMV come together. It can be kind of artsy, kind of techie; it can be whatever the mix calls for that evening. I’m looking for the event to be community building, networking and a good time.”

As part of the festivities, attendees will be able to connect over food and music with performances and DJ sets by Alex Vaughn, Black Alley, DJ Five9 and DJ Moneyill. There will be also be free dishes from Black-owned restaurants while supplies left, and a chance to shop from Black-owned businesses.

The Pepsi Dig In Day Block Party takes place this Saturday, August 19 at Sandlot Anacostia in Washington, D.C. Learn more about Dig In Day here.
