Join us and our partners Steel City Rowing and Verona Borough to celebrate the launch of something big — Verona’s brand-new ADA accessible dock! We’re throwing a riverfront party jam packed with FREE activities to mark this exciting milestone, and you’re invited to kick off the summer with us!
We’re starting the day with a guided meditation at 9:00 AM with @awakenpittsburgh to get you grounded and ready for a beautiful morning by the river. Then at 9:45 AM, join us for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony to open the launch!
The fun keeps rolling:
