YaJagoff Media, in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, will host this year’s “Not Your Average Holiday Parade, YaJagoff!” on December 6, starting at 10 a.m. The Burgh Bus, a Pittsburgh-themed party bus, will load a few famed Yinzer passengers at the Convention Center, then stop at five predetermined locations downtown.
At each stop, various Pittsburgh personalities, including Desarae Legros of Cooking, Comedy, Chaos, Ellen Kotzin of Pittsburgh Hills, The Kahone Concept and Chris Beers of Grandpa Joe’s will unload from the bus and serve as a pop-up holiday party. Leading the charge are resident Jag Marshalls, John and Rachael, who will interview downtown business owners and other personalities at designated downtown locations for 5 to 10 minutes.
Then, the passengers will reboard the bus and do it all over again at the next destination, spreading holiday cheer to jags all over downtown. Expect parade fanfare, like candy and stickers of course, while learning about where to spend family fun time over the holidays in downtown. Can’t stop at one of the locations between 10-11:15?
We will video the entire process so watch it on the YaJagoff podcast the Friday before Christmas.
The parade route will progress as follows:
- The Gingerbread House display outside of the City County Building
- PPG Ice Rink – 4, PPG Place, Third Ave Suite 100
- Market Square
- Holiday Kids Play & Selfie Garden – Ft. Duquesne Blvd
- Santa’s House – Heinz Hall Courtyard
