University of Pittsburgh Athletics
Pitt Block Party at Arts Landing


When the NFL Draft comes to Pittsburgh, Pitt is taking over downtown. In partnership with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, Pitt Athletics invites fans to the Pitt Block Party at Arts Landing, a three-day celebration (April 23–25) built for Panther faithful, football diehards and anyone looking to experience the city at its best during Draft week. Set in the Cultural District’s newest four-acre gathering space, this is your front-row hub for everything happening around the Draft—just steps from the action.
From an immersive Pitt Football museum and interactive draft showcase celebrating Panther greats and the program’s NFL pipeline, to live music, local food, and nonstop energy, the Pitt Block Party brings together the best of Pittsburgh’s sports and cultural scene. Whether you’re here to relive Pitt legends, follow the future stars, or simply soak in the atmosphere, Arts Landing is where Pitt pride meets Draft weekend.
