It will be fun to see what the city\u2019s most fashionable turn out with the Green Envy theme!\u201d<\/p>\n “While Party at the Pier is an opportunity for Pittsburghers to celebrate what makes our riverfronts great, proceeds also support Riverlife’s efforts to complete, enhance, and expand the 15-mile, 1,055-acre ‘loop’ of downtown riverfront parks, trails, and green spaces to make the riverfronts accessible and enjoyable for everyone,” says Mr. Galluzzo.<\/p>\n Tickets for Party at the Pier: Green Envy, presented by Peoples are on sale now and can be found at partyatthepier.com<\/strong><\/a>.

Riverfront usage has sky-rocketed over 62% since 2019. Riverlife\u2019s continued vision to open up Pittsburgh\u2019s world class riverfronts for all to enjoy relies on the support of its community of generous sponsors, supporters, and volunteers. While today\u2019s riverfronts boast world-class moments, challenges and gaps remain in creating an experience that is enjoyed equally by everyone. Completing the Loop is the vision for filling those gaps and creating a cohesive riverfront experience that has thriving spaces and can be accessed and enjoyed by all. The Loop covers 15 miles and 1,055 acres of riverfront space between the West End, Hot Metal, and 31st Street Bridges. Proceeds from Party at the Pier will benefit initiatives like Completing the Loop<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Riverlife\u2019s Legendary Party at the Pier Turns \u201cGreen With Envy\u201d and Returns to Rivers Casino Amphitheater on August 26th Riverlife\u2019s annual themed fundraiser celebrates the city\u2019s riverfronts and raises funds for riverfront initiatives to include \u201cCompleting The Loop\u201d Tickets on sale now with Early Bird rates available until June 18th June 8, 2022 (Pittsburgh, PA)\u2013 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3013,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucid-heisenberg.31-170-165-113.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucid-heisenberg.31-170-165-113.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucid-heisenberg.31-170-165-113.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucid-heisenberg.31-170-165-113.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucid-heisenberg.31-170-165-113.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lucid-heisenberg.31-170-165-113.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3012\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucid-heisenberg.31-170-165-113.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucid-heisenberg.31-170-165-113.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucid-heisenberg.31-170-165-113.plesk.page\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
