Best Places To Celebrate Easter 2025: See Where Pittsburgh Ranks

PITTSBURGH, PA — As Easter draws near, you can find egg scavenger hunts, Easter Bunny meet-and-greets and other holiday traditions in most places. But it turns out that some cities are better at celebrating Easter than others.

That's the conclusion of financial analytics website WalletHub, which has released its annual ranking of the best places in America to celebrate Easter. This year Pittsburgh ranks second, behind only Birmingham.

"The best cities for Easter cater to the religious nature of the holiday by offering plenty of opportunities for Christians to attend services, and they also provide the resources for people to have a great time with their family regardless of religious affiliation," WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said. "That means lots of places to get some sweet treats or dine out, as well as good weather conditions and nice open spaces for Easter egg hunts.”

To determine the rankings, WalletHub compared the 100 largest cities based on 11 metrics that speak to an ideal Easter celebration. They ranged from candy and chocolate stores per capita to the city’s Christian population.

Here's what WalletHub concluded about Pittsburgh:

"Pittsburgh is the second-best city for celebrating Easter, in part because it has some of the most churches per capita and a very high share of the population identifying as Christian, so there’s a lot of people celebrating and plenty of places for them to worship.

"The Steel City also has some of the most candy shops per capita and a high number of chocolate shops per capita, so it’s easy to sweeten the celebration. Pittsburgh also has some of the most flower and gift shops per capita, so decorating is easy, and it offers some of the most affordable restaurant meals for two."
