PITTSBURGH — One of Pittsburgh’s most beloved holiday traditions will now be named for the one of the region’s leaders in health care and its largest employer.

On Wednesday, Highwoods Properties, owner of PPG Place, announced that UPMC is the new title sponsor of The UPMC Rink at PPG Place.

“UPMC is the ideal dedicated community partner for Pittsburgh’s unique destination attraction,” Andy Wisniewski, senior vice president, Pittsburgh Division, Highwoods Properties, said. “The UPMC Rink at PPG Place is a special experiential gathering place where memories are created for all ages.”

This year marks the 21st season of the attraction, which will be presenting a new event this year, also sponsored by UPMC. The UPMC Ultimate Holiday Tree Experience will take place on Nov. 19, and will showcase the new “world’s most technologically-advanced holiday tree” display in the center of the rink. Following that event, the UPMC Rink at PPG Place will be open daily throughout the holiday season and until Feb. 27, 2022.
