Visitors Guide

Although Pittsburgh's history is linked to heavy industry and commerce, in recent decades the word has spread that it is also a great place to visit, offering a treasure trove of recreational opportunities.

Of course there are the sports teams whose names have become a household word in the past half-century. 

But there are also museums, art galleries, hiking and biking trails, concerts, Broadway-quality theater, symphony, opera, and ballet. 

There are festivals of the arts and ethnic heritage, regattas, air shows, amusement parks, water parks, state, county and city parks, enough walking and running events to satisfy the most ardent devotee and if you love a parade�

Downtown Pittsburgh is home to numerous parades, including some of the country's largest for St. Patrick's Day, Labor Day, African-American Heritage Day, Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, Celebrate the Season (usually the weekend prior to Thanksgiving) and more�
                                                                                                   
The Greater Pittsburgh Area is also home base to Zambelli Internationale, the undisputed world leader in pyrotechnic displays. That means the only thing Pittsburghers like more than a parade is fireworks � and the city and its surrounding communities seize on practically any occasion to mount an aerial display. 

Fireworks are usually an integral part of the city's First Night (New Year's Eve) celebration, the Three Rivers Regatta, Celebrate the Season, numerous Pittsburgh Pirates games and, of course, Independence Day.
