Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the record books!
May promises to be the perfect time to forge lasting memories with your friends and family in Pittsburgh. The sun is coming out, festivals are kicking off, and our community is ready to treat you like a neighbor. This month is the spark of summer, and we've got never-before-seen events designed to spark your imagination. From baseball games at one of the most beautiful ballparks in the country and music festivals in new outdoor spaces to holidays spent like no other and a confluence of rivers that come alive in the warm weather, Pittsburgh in May will make you wonder why you haven't visited sooner.
The 59th annual Carnegie International is happening now all throughout the city. Organized every four years by Carnegie Museum of Art, the Carnegie International is the longest-running exhibition of international art in North America. Step into the world of "if the word we," an homage to bringing together artistic practices that engage shared experience, circulation, and worlds in transition.
The 59th edition is the most collaborative and far-reaching to date—a clear expression of the museum’s founding commitment to the art and artists of our time, at once grounded in our locality and extending globally.
For several days, the future of football was forged in our backyard, and our community and fans from all across the country showed up and showed out for the occasion. With your help, we were able to break the all-time NFL Draft attendance record, with 805,000 fans coming to the confluence of the rivers and the North Shore to spark a celebration.
