PITTSBURGH — Local football fans have another way to celebrate during the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.
Pitt Athletics and the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust will host a Pitt Block Party to coincide with draft, April 23-25.

Arts Landing is located within walking distance of the Draft Theater and Main Stage (North Shore) and NFL Draft Experience (Point State Park), along with other local attractions.
“Hosting the NFL Draft is a tremendous moment for the city of Pittsburgh, and the Pitt Block Party at Arts Landing gives our community a dynamic, family-friendly alternative option to be part of the action away from the North Shore,” Pitt Athletic Director Allen Greene said.
