Holidays in the City

Pittsburgh is a beautiful city. We have a gorgeous skyline and a bustling restaurant scene. There are always a ton of events going on in the city and the surrounding areas. This month is no different. With the holidays coming up on us, there are sure to be tons of things going on. Pittsburgh has what you need:

The day before Thanksgiving you can brush up on your hot holiday drink repertoire with Wigle Whiskey. Join them as they teach you some delicious holiday cocktails that will shake the winter chill out of anyone. Swing by for a free hot toddy, mulled cider or spiked cocoa. The event is free so stop by if you’re of drinking age.

Saturday the 28th you can enjoy a little storytelling. Wordplay marries storytelling with music for an interesting combination. Listen to tales from everyday people set to a DJ spinning tunes by Bach and Bruno Mars. The collaboration seems strange but makes the finished product much more entertaining. Buy your tickets online here.

If you’d like to feel a little fancy you can head to the Byham on Sunday, November 29th for a holiday show to really get you into the spirit. At 7 PM international singer and showman, Mark Milovats will take the stage for his Holiday Spectacular, “Christmas in the City.” This 18th annual performance benefits Children’s Miracle Network Hospital and the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. So you’re having a great time for a really good cause. For information on purchasing tickets head to the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s website.

Everyone is getting all geared up for the brand new Star Wars movie, coming out December 18th. But if you didn’t manage to snag yourself tickets to opening night (it’s okay, we didn’t either) you won’t want to miss the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s rendition of some of the most popular tunes from the franchise. Show up when doors open at 5:30 for Star Wars music played by a 14 piece trombone choir. The real show isn’t until 7 so you have plenty of time to get a drink and enjoy the opening act. Get your tickets here.
