McEachern and longtime friend Marcus Allen hosted their first festival event in 2010, in Los Angeles, California to promote their clothing line and Earth Day. Kendrick Lamar, Dom Kennedy, Casey Veggies, Skeme and other popular West Coast artists performed. The Broccoli City Festival was then co-founded in Washington, D.C. in 2013, alongside Darryl Perkins and Jermon Williams, with Big K.R.I.T as the headliner. The festival relocated to Washington, D.C. to promote environmental awareness and health causes in the African-American community.
Rapper Jay-Z was interested in the May 6th, 2017 festival, the year singer and sister-in-law Solange was the headliner. That same year also featured 21 Savage, AlunaGeorge, Lil Yachty and Rae Sremmurd, among other artists.
