Join Innovate Pittsburgh for the official launch of Oakland Winter Lights, a new neighborhood-wide experience designed to illuminate Pittsburgh through the darker winter months. The season-long initiative features installations, activations, and community programming running through the end of February.
Kick off the season with a celebration featuring live music from Eagleburger, a stilt-walking performer, light-up accessories for attendees, and the debut of Projected Flow—a large-scale animated light projection that will illuminate buildings along Forbes Avenue.
Following the main event, the celebration continues with a warm-up gathering at Viva Los Tacos.
