The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership says that moving the event to a Saturday last year turned out to be a very popular decision with many more people in attendance, with nearly 50% more people traveling more than 50 miles to attend.
The Rink at PPG Place grand opening
The UPMC Rink at PPG Place will open on November 18. It will be open daily through the holiday season.
That day, there will be a lighting event featured a performance by the East End Kids and a Tribute of Light ceremony in honor of those affected by cancer.
