Coming November 23, experience Pittsburgh’s newest holiday tradition as thousands of twinkling lights bring Mellon Square to life, creating a magical atmosphere for families, friends, and visitors of all ages.

Partnering with renowned public art specialists Shiftworks and acclaimed light installation artist Joshua Ice, the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy has curated a breathtaking spectacle. Aurora features hundreds of diamond-shaped panels, which shift their hues as they catch the breeze or respond to the touch of passersby. Arranged in an argyle pattern, these panels echo the terrazzo design of the park’s ground, as though the iconic diamonds have come to life, lifting off and floating in the air. The installation rises and dips as it bounces across pathways, stretches over the central fountain, and weaves through trees and gathering spaces, soaring more than 25 feet high at its peak.
