Pittsburgh 250 is much more than a birthday party. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to encourage people inside and outside our region to imagine a bright future here. We are celebrating an important milestone in American history – the 1758 Forbes Campaign that led to the naming of Pittsburgh, and the founding of Bedford, Ligonier and other communities west of Carlisle – and the 250 years of innovation and accomplishment that have followed.
With the hard work and support of so many regional partners, Pittsburgh 250 has three goals:
- Raise awareness of the Pittsburgh region as a global leader in arts, science and quality of life through an integrated regional marketing effort.
- Support the completion of lasting Signature Projects that connect the region’s past to its future.
- Improve the region’s competitiveness for future generations by encouraging grassroots participation in enhancing communities, attracting visitors and leading healthier lives.
