Road Trip! To Art All Night Pittsburgh 2025 which offers unique works of art, around-the-clock performances from musicians, dozens of films and interactive activities for children and adults.
Two years have passed since we visited this fabulous Art All Night event in the City of Champions, Steel Cit
y, City of Bridges, Hell With the Lid Off, to name a few identifiers.
The 28th annual Pittsburgh event represents a free 22-hour festival (4 p.m. Saturday April 26 to Sunday April 27 to 2 p.m.) that features art and performances from hundreds of new, emerging and established artists.

AAN Pittsburgh thrives with positive vibes, listing as wonderfully edgy and ultra interesting. Of course, people-watching offers a delicious aspect of Steel City nightlife.
Sounds a lot like our own Art All Night Trenton, at least, when Roebling Wire Works sited the once popular event. Those were the good old days in the capital city.
No alcohol. No fees. No censorship. Artists display their creations inside a 53,000 square foot former warehouse for Donahue’s grocery store distribution operation.
The giant warehouse at 929 Beaver Ave. expects to shelter a diverse group of thousands. A 12-midnight parade highlights the event.(The freaks come out at night. The freaks come out at night).
Art All Night Pittsburgh debuted in 1998 with about 100 art pieces that attracted 200 guests. The all-volunteer art show now enjoys cult status as art lovers attend for a night of people-friendly activity.
So, expect photos and several videos as we return to Art All Night Pittsburgh style.
