Light Up Night brings together Pittsburgh’s favorite holiday traditions and fresh new magic. Think dazzling tree lightings, skating beneath the tree at PPG Place, and a grand finale of fireworks that lights up the skyline.

This special celebration will begin with an exclusive VIP Reception followed by a grand Garden Party. Imagine strolling through glittering gardens under the stars, surrounded by the scent of fragrant holiday blooms, dazzling light displays, whimsical topiary animals and delightful surprises around every corner. This  unforgettable night will feature live music, a flameworking ornament demonstration, a meet-and-greet with winter animal friends from Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium, live ice sculpting, stunning vocals from Pittsburgh Opera, and a grand finale performance from Three Rivers Ringers handbell ensemble.

Founded in 1982, Three Rivers Film Festival (3RFF) is the largest annual film festival in the region. The dynamic lineup of independent features, shorts, panels, parties, and special events (including Pittsburgh Shorts, the Filmmaker Conference and Script Competition) will take place across multiple venues in Pittsburgh.
