Vigil for Mac Miller in 2018
Mac Miller was a musician that many Pittsburghers had a great deal of pride over. Making it from a local act to the international stage showed that musicians from the city had talent and drive, and his death in 2018 at just 26 years old was felt by many in the community and beyond. Just days after the news broke, a vigil was held on September 11 at Blue Slide Park, the playground namesake of Miller's debut studio album.
Memorials for the late rap artist, real name Malcolm James McCormick, have continued since then, including the upcoming Celebration of Mac Miller.
