It Starts Here.

This New Year’s Eve, the party is coming to you! Ring in 2021 in pure Pittsburgh style as Heather Abraham and David Highfield of Pittsburgh Today Live join the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust for a one-hour, TV-only special edition of our city’s signature celebration—Highmark First Night Pittsburgh.

Tune in to KDKA-TV or CBSN Pittsburgh at 11 p.m. — along with a few hundred-thousand neighbors — as we count down to midnight with a celebration of art from our region and beyond.

You'll enjoy music, magic, and more from an array of talented artists that you've come to expect from Highmark First Night Pittsburgh, as well as the raising of our Future of Pittsburgh Ball, all adapted for this one-of-a-kind broadcast spectacular.

The pandemic might keep us from gathering in the Cultural District, but it won’t stop Pittsburgh from welcoming 2021 together.

Elevate your New Year's Eve.
