Black Friday & Small Business Saturday in Downtown Pittsburgh

With Thanksgiving this week, holiday shopping is right around the corner. Skip the mall madness this Black Friday and instead enjoy a more festive shopping experience in Downtown! Home to over 140 retailers, including many exclusive shops and stores that you won’t find anywhere else, Downtown is the place to put the holidays back in your holiday shopping.

Black Friday

On Black Friday, November 29, enjoy a special bonus day of the Free Fifth Avenue Place Holly Trolley to get around the neighborhood, along with special engagements of Holiday KidsPlay (including an appearance by Daniel Tiger from 12:00 – 3:00 p.m.).

Plus, shop the Peoples Gas Holiday Market, get your photos with Santa in Market Square, and enjoy the festive Downtown neighborhood decked out for the holidays.

Small Business Saturday

Then, join us for Small Business Saturday on November 30 as you shop small and support local businesses. Numerous retailers will be offering special deals and hours throughout the day, and you can start your shopping in Market Square to pick up a shopping map and some free Small Business Saturday swag, including Shop Downtown Pittsburgh tote bags (as supplies last). 

New this year, we’re extending our Downtown Holiday Shopping Passport to last all season long! Starting on Small Business Saturday, pick up your Downtown Holiday Shopping Passport at the Peoples Gas Holiday Market. Then, just by visiting various local retailers, you can be entered to win a variety of Downtown prize packs, including free stays at the Distrikt Hotel Pittsburgh, Fairmont Pittsburgh, Embassy Suites by Hilton Pittsburgh Downtown, Kimpton Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh, and Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh Downtown.
