By bringing space to life with captivating elements, this display aims to enhance the festive atmosphere in the heart of the city.

Looking for a glimpse of nature in Downtown Pittsburgh? Head to Mellon Square to enjoy an oasis in the middle of the city.

In 1949, the city was given $4 million by the A. W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust, Sarah Mellon Scaife, and Richard King Mellon Foundation to build a public plaza and parking facility. Built in 1955, it became one of the very first public plazas to be built atop a parking garage, effectively making it one of the country’s first “green roofs.”
