City of Pittsburgh

Today, the City of Pittsburgh celebrated Immigrant Heritage Month by welcoming the Pittsburgh Xiabo Waist Drum Dance Group.

Founded in 2016, this community-based performance troupe presented a vibrant showcase of traditional Chinese culture, featuring waist drum dancing and a traditional Chinese tea ceremony at the City-County Building.

As a welcoming and inclusive city, Pittsburgh recognizes that immigrants strengthen our neighborhoods, economy, and civic life while enriching the diversity that makes our city vibrant and resilient.

The City is continuing to invest in neighborhood infrastructure so our communities have safer roads and connections. Next week, our Pittsburgh Mobility and Infrastructure crews are continuing to mill and pave streets across Pittsburgh.
