A Golden Night in the Golden Triangle: The Perfect Candlelight Crescendo Date Night
Written by Madeline Milchman
Mark your calendar, because DNA planned the perfect date night for you in Downtown Pittsburgh on June 20th. Whether you're trying to woo someone new or spice up your relationship with a long-term partner, this plan is the way to do it.
Start your night by dining at one of the restaurants we partnered with to provide you with a special deal. Show your Candlelight Crescendo ticket at Yuzu Kitchen, Valozzis, Revel, or Sushi I and get 20% off your meal. Enjoy asian food and a cocktail, pasta and a glass of wine, or a burger and a beer. Whatever you’re craving, there’s a discounted option for you. This deal is available all day on June 20th.
Next, head over to Highmark Theater at Pittsburgh Playhouse, for the romantic part of the evening. Listen to City Six Strings perform a unique setlist, including Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift, Espresso, by Sabrina Carpenter, Ordinary by Alex Warren, Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles, and more. This ensemble of over 40 members are classically trained at prestigious institutions and have performed alongside famous musicians, such as Machine Gun Kelly and Michael Bublé.
Adding the perfect touch of romance to your date night, this performance is entirely lit up by 1,000 candles. If you're celebrating an anniversary, birthday, pride month, or just looking for quality time, this event is guaranteed to be magical.
Candlelight Crescendo, hosted by DNA, starts at only $45, with discounts for students, seniors, groups, and DNA Members. It begins at 8pm and finishes at 9pm.
When the candles go out, the romance doesn’t have to end. Continue your night with the glow of the Golden Triangle. Take a leisurely stroll along the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, a short walk from the Playhouse, and take in the view of the city along the river.
Pittsburgh isn’t nicknamed the City of Love, but it does not lack romance. Our three rivers, stunning skyline, and unique events make this city special. Follow this date night plan and make your partner feel special too.
