Major Events
Major events. Major turnouts. Major fun. You’ll find it all in Three Rivers Park. Every year a number of festivals and regattas are held in and around the park. With so many great events planned throughout the year, you’ll need a calendar to keep track of them all.
Three Rivers Arts Festival
Food, fun and entertainment and a whole lot of really cool art. This June, come hang out at the Three River Arts Festival, located in Point State Park and a variety of other sites throughout the Cultural District.
Dollar Bank Jamboree
Highlights of this one-day event include live musical performances, children’s activities, the Three Rivers Fishing Classic and the one thing that every Pittsburgh event must have… fireworks.
Three Rivers Regatta
Four days of fun in the sun—that’s the Pittsburgh Three Rivers Regatta. Speedboat races, concerts, hot air balloons, and even a sailing regatta on the rivers. Held every 4th of July weekend.
Pittsburgh Triathlon
Every July, the brave gather on the North Shore for this exciting Olympic distance triathlon. It’s a total test of will power. We get tired just thinking about it.
Pittsburgh Dragon Boat Festival
East meets west in the Pittsburgh Dragon Boat Festival. This event, held every September, highlights the Chinese and pan-Asian cultures in Pittsburgh.
The Head of the Ohio
Row, row, row your boat all the way to the Head of the Ohio Regatta, held annually in October. The one-day event attracts the most competitive rowers from all over the country.
Light Up Night
Someone had the bright idea of turning all the lights on in the city and throwing a huge party. Light Up Night helps kick off the holiday season every November.
