Due to the weather forecast calling for sustained thunderstorms and possible hail throughout Thursday and Friday, Party at the Pier has been moved inside Rivers Casino for the comfort and safety of our guests and event team.
Please read on for more information about our fundraiser this Friday, August 17.
ALL TICKETHOLDERS:
Rivers–and rain–are a part of Western Pennsylvania’s DNA! Due to the weather forecast calling for sustained thunderstorms and possible hail throughout most of Friday, August 17, the event has been moved inside Rivers Casino to the second floor ballrooms.
Once you’ve arrived at Rivers Casino, cross through the first floor toward the riverfront Drum Bar. Take the escalators next to the Drum Bar up to the second floor where you’ll see the Party at the Pier entrance.
Please remember, no smoking is allowed on the second floor of Rivers Casino and at Party at the Pier; smoking is permitted on the first floor gaming area.
Doors open for the Il Primo VIP Reception at 6:30 pm; doors open for La Festa Main Event (all ticketholders) at 7:30 pm. Festeggiamo! Let the fun begin!
Please check your tickets and arrival time for una bella notte.
Every guest must have a ticket to be admitted to the party. You should have received an email from ShowClix when you purchased your tickets which contains a link to download and print your tickets. You can also check in at registration by having your ticket’s bar code on the screen of your phone to be scanned for entry.
Please take a moment to look at the top of your ticket, just below the ticket holder’s name. If it says “Il Primo VIP,” your ticket allows you to enter the VIP reception at 6:30 pm. If it says “Riverlife Supporter/General Admission” or “Nonprofit, public sector and students”, your ticket allows you to enter the Main Event at 7:30 pm.
Remember, the event entrance has been moved to the second floor ballrooms inside the Rivers Casino building! All guests entering Rivers Casino and Party at the Pier must be 21 or older. Please be prepared to show ID. Sorry, there are no ticket sales at the door of the event.
