Crossing Cultural Divides, Advancing Diversity as a Force For Good, and Building a Welcoming and Inclusive Region For All

Celebrating cultural heritage helps newcomers to Pittsburgh feel a sense of connection and comfort, and allows longtime residents to connect to their ethnic and familial traditions. And when cultural groups connect with each other and the community at large, they build understanding, strengthen local economies, and make Pittsburgh a better place to live, work, learn, and play.
