“Celebrating our rich immigrant cultures and providing opportunities for them to inform our community about the diversity and energy that help shape our city has never been more important than now,” said Mayor Bill Peduto, who collaborated with the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership in hosting the event here in 2019. “We’re thrilled to see the return of this event Downtown, and to recognize and celebrate the cultural expressions of our international neighbors.”
