PITTSBURGH — An International Day Parade and Festival will take place on Oct. 21 to celebrate the diverse cultural history of the City of Pittsburgh.
Food, music, exhibits and a parade will honor the heritage of everyone who calls the city a home.
“Pittsburgh is a city where everyone should feel safe and welcome,” said Mayor Ed Gainey. “This celebration is a celebration of everyone who calls Pittsburgh home. It doesn’t matter if your family has lived here for generations or if you are a recent immigrant – Pittsburgh is your home, and every culture deserves to be celebrated.”
The parade will kick off at 10:30 a.m. on Fourth Avenue at Grant Street and will conclude at Market Square, where it will flow into the festivities that will be open to all at 10 a.m.
