Spike Lee will be hosting a block party for the 30th anniversary of his 1989 film, “Do the Right Thing,” on June 30.
“It’s going to be lit,” Lee said during an interview with TheWrap managing editor Thom Geier on Tuesday night following a screening of his Oscar-nominated film “BlackKklansman.”
The celebration will take place June 30 on the block in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn where much of the film was shot, Lee said, noting that Stuyvesant Ave. between Lexington and Quincy has since been re-named “Do the Right Thing Way,”

The event will be free and open to the public, in the same spirit as Lee’s past block parties, including an annual Michael Jackson party and a Prince-themed party in 2017.
“Do the Right Thing” explores racial tensions in a Brooklyn neighborhood over the course of a single summer day.
