Join us for a historic evening as we celebrate two transformative milestones for the Hill District: the completion of Phase I of the revitalization of the Historic New Granada Theater and the grand opening of the University of Pittsburgh Community Engagement Center. This special event marks another step forward in restoring one of Pittsburgh’s most treasured cultural landmarks while expanding opportunities for community connection, education, and neighborhood investment.
The celebration will take place on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, with doors opening at 5:00 p.m., followed by a program and reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Guests will also experience the highly anticipated marquee light-up at sunset, symbolizing a new chapter for the New Granada Theater and its role in the future of the Hill District. We invite community members, partners, supporters, and friends to join us for this unforgettable evening. RSVPs are due by August 4h.
