November 11, 2014

"Light Up Night® kicks off the most special time of the year in Downtown Pittsburgh," said Jeremy Waldrup, President and CEO of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership. "We are excited to present these incredible talents and launch new family friendly activities planned for the season, as we launch an entire month of programming ushered in by Light Up Night."

While the much-loved Light Up Night® traditions will return, this year’s four entertainment stages promise to be particularly exciting, each featuring headlining entertainment:

Downtown Pittsburgh is expected to welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors on Light Up Night®, kicking off a season of events expected to generate an estimated $21 million in economic impact.
