🍽️✨ The Hill District was full of energy, music, food, and community pride as A Taste of the Historic Hill brought local flair to NFL Draft Week on Centre and Wylie Avenue.
Throughout the multi-block celebration, residents and visitors came together to enjoy carnival rides, games, food trucks, local vendors, live music, community tables, and family-friendly fun. The event transformed the Hill’s main street corridor into a celebration of culture, creativity, and Black community life.
This weekend was a reminder that the Hill District is not just near the action, the Hill has its own action, history, and voice to share.
A special thank you to Renee Wilson for coordinating this celebration and helping create a space where community, culture, and local pride could shine during a historic weekend for Pittsburgh!
