PITTSBURGH — The three-day Juneteenth celebration this weekend was approved by Pittsburgh city council after it almost got dropped.
On Friday evening, one of the first groups to take the stage will be Arrested Development.
How long the music will play is being challenged.
The Black Political Empowerment Project Planning Council just sent a letter to Gov. Josh Shapiro’s office, requesting that music be allowed to go on until 10 p.m. and that vendors not be forced to close down at 8 p.m.
That letter also stated the park is normally open until 11 p.m. and July 4th fireworks usually go until about 10 p.m.
It’s unclear if the governor’s office has responded.
You can find a list of Juneteenth celebration activities on the VisitPittsburgh website.
