FestPGH 2026

This September, the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh is launching FestPGH, a brand-new festival at Highmark Stadium that brings together faith, family, and community in a way our city hasn’t seen before. Built around the mission to connect, serve, and celebrate, the event will feature live music headlined by Switchfoot, along with Mass, confession, a kids zone, an artist market, and a β€œFaith in Action Village” highlighting local service opportunities. Best of all, it’s free and open to everyone.

This is more than just a concert; it’s a chance to experience faith in action and bring it beyond the walls of the church. As Knights, this is exactly the kind of event we should support. Bring your family, invite a friend, and be part of something that could make a lasting impact across Pittsburgh.
