Schenley Plaza One Millionth Visitor Celebration

« Back

Since 2006, our Schenley Plaza staff has conducted head counts several times a day to determine visitorship.  Now that visitor one million is fast approaching, we're having a free celebration on July 11 from 2:00 to 5:00pm!  Come to the Plaza during the event and YOU could be the millionth visitor! 

You can also enter to win prizes including:

• A Dean beginner guitar package from Backstage Guitars
• Pittsburgh Pirates tickets
• Hats
• T-shirts
• Note cards
• Gift certificates
• Great Race prize package
• Water Saver kits

The millionth visitor receives a personalized brick at the Plaza, a tree planted in their honor, and a lifetime membership to the Parks Conservancy.

Activities include:

• Citiparks Roving Art Cart
• Clear Channel Radio prize wheel
• Face-painting, balloon animals, and free carousel rides courtesy of PNC
• Animals from the Animal Rescue League
• Sunflowers to plant and take home from Friends of the Riverfront
• Activities with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History
• Free pedometers courtesy of UPMC Health Plan

Penn Future and The Black and Gold City Goes Green will be on hand accepting pledges to conserve water, with a goal of reaching One Million Gallons Conserved.  America on the Move will encourage people to sign the One Million Steps pledge to increase physical fitness. 

Take a look back at the Plaza's first million visitors in our ongoing Countdown to 1 Million blog series.  And you can see exclusive content at the Plaza's Facebook page!
