VIP RECEPTION | 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
THE MAIN EVENT | 7:30 PM - 10:30 PM

Hosted by Helen and Stephen Casey and Annie and Gus Engel

You're invited to join Riverlife for the can't-miss event of the summer in celebration of Pittsburgh's rivers. Party at the Pier, presented by Peoples supports Riverlife and the ongoing transformation of Pittsburgh’s 15-mile, 1,055-acre “loop” of riverfront parks, trails, and green spaces.

Join us for the night of your dreams at the 16th annual Party at the Pier. Let your imagination take flight high above the city on the Rooftop Terrace of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

Hosted by event chairs Helen and Stephen Casey and Annie and Gus Engel, Party at the Pier invites you to illuminate your imagination above Downtown Pittsburgh — where you step into the surreal and the skyline sparkles underneath your feet. Celebrate the magic of Pittsburgh’s riverfronts in an entirely new way—where fantasy and cityscapes meet in the clouds.

As twilight falls, the Rooftop Terrace transforms into a world of whimsical wonder, playful light, and transcendent charm. Guests at the VIP Reception will enjoy exclusive access to enchanting performances and food and drink. Doors open at 7:30pm for all ticketed guests to experience an immersive night of endless possibilities and reverie on the dance floor. Escape to enjoy the views in the Sky View Lounge, presented by First National Bank, which includes additional entertainment and a serene atmosphere.
