Body

Allegheny County Council is honored to present this Certificate of Recognition to the Advisory Board of the Three Rivers Arts Festival upon the monumental occasion of the festival's 50th anniversary.  Throughout the outdoor event's 50-year history, it has connected community members to arts and culture by showcasing local, national and international artists in an intimate setting. The experience has grown steadily over 50 years, becoming the premiere multidisciplinary art event in the region and attracting visitors to an enlivening experience and residents to a unique tradition.  The festival has helped promote Pittsburgh's reputation as a cultural and artistic breeding ground.  It has enriched our region and become a staple attraction.  We congratulate the festival's board on this fine milestone, and we commend the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust for ensuring the event continues to thrive.
