This summer, you're invited to join Riverlife for the can't-miss event of the year...and help support our work "Completing the Loop" of Pittsburgh's 15-mile, 1,050-acre downtown riverfront experience!

For the past 12 years, Riverlife's Party at the Pier has become one of Pittsburgh’s most anticipated nonprofit celebration fundraisers. This year our event is back in a brand new location: The Highline on the South Side. Here's what you can expect:

The Highline is a chic new office/retail complex at a historic converted train terminal. Our party is staged on over an acre of The Highline's outdoor open space, including an 500-foot-long elevated park overlooking the Mon River.
Haute-boxed heavy hors d'oeuvres, craft cocktails from James Beard Semi-Finalist Wigle Whiskey and brews from Sly Fox Brewing
Music, dancing, style, and fun right on the riverfront with breathtaking skyline views
VIP Reception before the main event with whiskey tasting by Wigle (limited tickets available)
Your ticket purchase directly supports Riverlife’s mission to create, activate, and celebrate Pittsburgh's riverfronts!

YOUR TIME TO GET DRESSED UP AND GO HAUTE-DOORS: SUGGESTED ATTIRE

"Summer cocktail attire with a haute cosmopolitan twist." What does that mean? Well, it's open to your own creative interpretation! This year we're predicting we'll see flashes of urban glam and street style inspired by the original NYC High Line, bright blazers, patterned shirts and ties, shimmery sequins and liquid metallics, and 90’s haute throwback looks.

$250 VIP Reception, 6:30-7:30 pm starting right on the elevated park. Includes TABLE Magazine's Most Inspired Attire photo arrival and Wigle Whiskey tasting. Valet parking included.

Riverlife is committed to a fun and safe event that follows CDC recommendations. We ask that all Party at the Pier guests follow these guidelines:

If you have recently tested positive for COVID-19, are waiting for COVID-19 test results, are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms, or have had close contact with a person who has tested positive for or who has symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home. We'll look forward to celebrating with you another time!
The majority of our event takes place outside on The Highline’s elevated park and lower plaza. That’s over an acre of outdoor open space to spread out and enjoy! However, some guests may encounter indoor areas when using the parking garage for valet drop-off, using the elevators to reach the elevated park, and using the restrooms. The CDC recommends that everyone, regardless of vaccination status, wear a mask indoors in public if they are in an area of substantial or high transmission. Though your time indoors at The Highline may be brief, please bring a mask just in case.
Party at the Pier happens rain or shine. Due to the outdoor nature of the event, you may want to bring an umbrella or raincoat if the forecast calls for precipitation.

More information coming soon regarding parking, access, and other event details. Please check back at this page, partyatthepier.com, for the most up-to-date information.

You must be 21 or older with ID to attend. This event is rain or shine, and all ticket sales are final. Thank you for supporting our fundraiser!
