Riverlife’s Party at the Pier soars to new heights on the new Rooftop Terrace at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. Read on to learn more about the decision to move our annual riverfront celebration to the stunning Downtown rooftop and why we love this riverfront space.
Riverlife’s success over the past 24 years has been built on strong partnerships. Important transformations up and down the rivers have been realized because of that shared interest. When it came time to find the perfect spot to celebrate Pittsburgh’s rivers and the city’s vibrant spirit through Party at the Pier, the Rooftop Terrace was a natural choice. This urban oasis has captured Riverlife’s hearts for a multitude of reasons, creating a beautiful backdrop for guests to dance the night away under the stars, overlooking the city skyline.
