Live music plays an important role in providing a higher quality of life within urban neighborhoods by supporting cultural expression, social identity, economic development, and most importantly a positive and safe sense of place.
The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership is developing an initiative to bring more live music into restaurants, bars, and other unique venues in Downtown Pittsburgh.
Partner with Downtown venues for a multi-night, multi-month commitment to add live music programming, supported by a comprehensive umbrella marketing campaign.
