Pirates Fest Returns This January!
Written by Arlo Grey MacFarland
Just a couple of months away, on Saturday, January 24, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Pittsburgh Pirates will once again host their annual PiratesFest. Held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center at 1000 Fort Duquesne Blvd., PiratesFest is a free event for fans and families to connect to the players and their management.
Starting back in the 1990s, when the Pirates were still playing at Three Rivers Stadium, PiratesFest quickly became a staple for Pittsburgh baseball fans. The Pirates are known for their events outside of the games, including appearances from the Pirate Parrot around the city and Family Fun Days during the summers.
The team’s announcement for the event has yet to contain further details, however, the event will include:
Meet-and-greet with Pirates players: Fans will have the chance to meet their favorite Pirates players, take photos, and even collect autographs, forging memories that will last a lifetime.
Interactive games and activities: PiratesFest will feature a wide variety of interactive games and activities suitable for fans of all ages.
Exclusive merchandise: The event will showcase exclusive Pirates merchandise and memorabilia, allowing fans to snag unique items to add to their collections.
Q&A sessions: Get insights directly from Pirates management and players during engaging Q&A sessions. (all according to the Pirates website)
With more details to be announced as we get closer to the event, PiratesFest is sure to bring fun for the whole family! The event is free, but guests are encouraged to RSVP here.
