After a successful pilot launch in July, City Social is back Sept. 10 at Arts Landing
Pittsburgh, PA – The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership (PDP), with support from Downtown businesses and foundations, has relaunched its newest weekly social happy hour series, City Social!
Returning to the Golden Triangle after a successful pilot launch in July, the new and improved City Social makes its re-debut at the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s outdoor civic space, Arts Landing, and the 8th and Penn Ave block, Thursday, September 10.
Every Thursday in September from 4 to 7 pm, downtown professionals, work-from-home residents, business owners, and more can connect, upgrade their professional headshot with a local photographer, AND enjoy premium discounts on drinks and bites at Arts Landing’s mobile bar, Weeble Wobble, Wall Flower, Proper Brick Oven & Tap Room, and The Eagle.
PLUS, enjoy surprise activations throughout the month including live music from DJ Arie Cole, visits from the Pittsburgh Glass Center’s mobile studio, and the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s free outdoor community event, A Landing Ovation.
Created with Downtown professionals in mind, City Social is a great weekly incentive for office workers of all kinds to unwind after work with their colleagues, support local businesses, and foster their need for true connection.
“We have re-welcomed nearly 60% of employees back to Downtown since 2019,” says Jeremy Waldrup, PDP President and CEO. “With this resurgence of professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, and more making their way back to the City, we at the PDP saw this opportunity to bring people together throughout the week. After receiving unparalleled support from foundation and business partners, we are thrilled to have this event return to Downtown!”
Participants can register for free each Thursday at Eventbrite. Simply show proof of registration to the server or bartender at the Arts Landing’s mobile bar, Weeble Wobble, Wall Flower, and Proper Brick Oven & Tap Room, and The Eagle, to receive 10% off any existing happy hour discounts.
