412 Day: Here’s how Yinzers are celebrating
April 12 marks a day Yinzers throughout the Steel City celebrate: 412 Day.
412 is the area code for the City of Pittsburgh and other nearby locations; surrounding areas celebrate their days in July (724) and August (814).
To celebrate 412 Day, several area organizations and businesses are hosting events covering all things Pittsburgh.
April 12 is also 412 Gives Back Day. The organization is calling for kids of all ages to help give back to the community by packing lunches in benefit of Light of Life Rescue Mission.
Anyone interested in volunteering can go to the Pine Community Center at 100 Pine Park Drive in Wexford from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Volunteers are asked to wear their 412 Pride colors.
412 Fest
Bakery Square is hosting 412 Fest from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. to celebrate the “dope city of Pittsburgh!”
An Instagram post said there will be live music, giveaways, local pop-up vendors, Pittsburgh mascots, face painting, caricature drawings, balloon art, a photobooth, trivia about the Steel City and more.
