Event Highlights:

• Interactive Ofrenda:

  Our interactive ofrenda is a collaborative artwork guided by PMAHCC Small Business Members, Alison Zapata and Lisa DiGioia-Nutini (owner of Mexico Lindo). In the tradition of Día de los Muertos, the altar welcomes the spirits of our loved ones with color, fragrance, and light. Each element carries meaning: marigolds (cempasúchil) to guide the way, papel picado for the breath of wind, candles for light, water and salt for refreshment and purity, and pan de muerto and sugar skulls as offerings of care and remembrance.

  This is a community altar—built by many hands and many stories. You’re invited to place a photo or small item, write a name or message, and spend a moment at the altar in reflection and gratitude.

• Live DJ & Music: Enjoy lively beats from PMAHCC Small Business Member, DJ Matteo throughout the evening that bring traditional sounds to the celebration.

• Taco Bar: Treat yourself to a festive taco bar with flavorful fillings, toppings, and salsas.

• Themed Cocktails: Sip on cocktails inspired by Mexican and Latin flavors while enjoying a vibrant atmosphere.

• Makeup de Muertos: Get your festive makeup look by Beanie Paints (complimentary for guests, first come first serve).

• Gem Bar: Already glammed or freshly painted, finish your look with statement shine: hand-placed, shimmering face gems.

Festive Attire and Makeup are Encouraged but NOT REQUIRED

The Ofrenda Happy Hour is more than just a social gathering; it’s an opportunity to experience and honor the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos. This event encourages community connection and cultural appreciation while enjoying a lively atmosphere filled with music, art, and dance.

Performing Arts. Visual Arts. Festivals. Arts Education. Urban Development.

Since 1984, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, a non-profit arts organization, has worked to make the Steel City a place where the arts can flourish. Our efforts have focused on the cultural and economic development of the Cultural District, a 14-square-block area of downtown Pittsburgh. What was once a downtrodden red light district now thrives as a vibrant center for culture, art, food, and community. Pittsburgh’s Cultural District stands as a nationwide model for how the arts can play a pivotal role in urban revitalization.

Each year, millions of people visit the Cultural District to expand their horizons in our theaters, galleries, and public art environments. Patrons enjoy thousands of world-class performing arts events and visual arts exhibitions. Pittsburgh residents of all ages connect and learn with the Trust’s comprehensive education and community engagement opportunities. Local arts organizations collaborate to build a stronger cultural community through the power of partnerships.

The Cultural District acts as the anchor for all of that work. The Trust’s superior venues and gallery spaces allow resident companies, community organizations, artists, and promoters to reach audiences large and small. In total, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust manages more than one million square feet of real estate in the District. Step outside those buildings to find numerous public art installations that beautify Pittsburgh's largest arts neighborhood.

Lauded as “the single greatest creative force in Pittsburgh because of its spirit of reinvention” by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, the Trust strives every day to enrich the city of Pittsburgh’s vibrancy, diversity, and prosperity.
