WALKING CLUB EVENT
The Downtown Neighbors Alliance is excited to announce the next part of the Living Well Initiative project: Our Walking Club Event!
Join us on Saturday, October 25th at 10:00 AM for our Community Walking Club event! We’ll be meeting at Mellon Square in Downtown Pittsburgh and finishing our walk together at Mellon Square Coffee, the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and enjoy a post-walk cup of coffee with friends.
The walk comes with an extra twist, a Photo Scavenger Hunt! Along the route, participants will be encouraged to capture fun moments for a chance to win free tickets to our upcoming Candlelight Crescendo event. More information is posted on our flyers.
The Walking Club is free and open to everyone. Whether you’re looking to stay active, meet new people, or simply enjoy a morning outdoors, we welcome families, friends, and even pets to join us. We can’t wait to walk with you!
KICKOFF EVENT
The Downtown Neighbors Alliance officially kicked off the Living Well Initiative on July 15—an exciting new program focused on making wellness accessible, fun, and community-driven!
