A portion of the festival’s proceeds will be donated to The Green Scheme and Dreaming Out Loud, organizations committed to urban farming and food education in SE, DC.
“Food makes for the ultimate cultural exchange point. Our goal is to leverage that for good - providing opportunities for real connections and conversations, plus unique experiences, set against the backdrop of our diverse nation’s capital,” said festival co-founder, Lamine Ndour. “America is a melting pot of cultures, and our new version of the traditional barbecue celebrates it all.” Midnite BBQ planners selected the Gateway DC location because of its Ward 8 placement, a major food desert that will stand to benefit from the festival proceeds.
VIP and general admission Midnite BBQ passes are available at www.midnitebbq.com, while supplies last. A complete talent and cuisine participant list is also available on the the website.
