In addition to the stunning views of the fireworks, the cool night paddle under the city lights on the Allegheny River is an experience like no other. As you glide along the calm waters, you’ll witness the city skyline lit up my Zambelli fireworks.

We’ll start at the Millvale river launch and paddle towards the Point for the most incredible view of Pittsburgh fireworks.

To make the most out of your experience, here are some additional tips:

As a reminder, previous kayak experience is required for this event. If you’re new to kayaking, consider taking a lesson or two before joining the paddle. Safety is our top priority, so please listen carefully to the instructions provided by the organizers. Please arrive early to allow time to find parking and bring a flashlight or headlamp. 

We can’t wait to see you there for a memorable Independence Day celebration on the water!
