(Pittsburgh, Wilkinsburg) – We are pleased to announce that People’s Pride 2024 will take place on Sunday, June 30, and will relocate to Turner Elementary School in Wilkinsburg.
Our Pride Month celebration must continue to be centered around the BIPOC community and be located in the neighborhoods where we live. Swissvale has been a great home to us, and we’re looking forward to growing our people-based event while continuing to honor our roots.
Vendor and artist registration is now OPEN. Please make sure to register early, as we always reach capacity.
Of course, we cannot do this without generous sponsors, and we would love to have you by our side as we host Wilkinsburg’s first Pride March & Music Festival. Sponsorship opportunities are available.
From its inception as a bedroom community for the Westinghouse Air Brake executives to its present position as an economic hub and a portal for commuters, Wilkinsburg has maintained a rich cultural heritage that continues today. The diversity of individuals and groups within the Borough makes it a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family.
Stay tuned for more information, and make sure to mark your calendars!
