Three Rivers Arts Festival Gets New Home This Year

PITTSBURGH, PA — This year's abbreviated Three Rivers Arts Festival will have a new location. The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announced Monday that the annual event is moving to the Strip District.

The festival will be held in the riverfront lots at the 15th Street Plaza on Waterfront Road.

"Thanks to The Buncher Company, who owns the property, and lot operator, Alco, the festival will remain near its namesake three rivers, not far from its future long-term home in the Cultural District," Brooke Horejsi, chief programming and engagement officer for the Cultural Trust, said in a release. "We thank all the artists, partners, and visitors whose support will allow this iconic celebration of the arts to continue in 2025."

Typically a 10-day event in June, the arts festival attracts thousands of people Downtown will be reduced to just four days this year because of numerous Downtown revitalization projects that will occur this summer. The event will take place June 5-8, trust officials announced earlier this month.

The Cultural Trust has said one of the downtown revitalization projects in the works this
summer is a four-acre outdoor civic space that will serve as the festival's permanent home beginning next year.
