The cancellation of Light Up Night is among changes being made to the 2020 holiday season in downtown Pittsburgh because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Pivoting efforts towards a reimagined holiday season, we’re excited to bring back other returning traditions and new surprises that can be hosted safely,” an announcement said. The Peoples Gas Holiday Market will return for a ninth year, though it will be reconfigured with social distancing in mind. It is scheduled to open on Nov. 27. Another change coming is “Santa Zoom: Live from the North Pole,” replacing the traditional Santa’s House in Market Square with a unique experience offering a live chat with Santa while providing a digital keepsake for families. Open daily between Thanksgiving and Christmas, it will be free with a minimum $5 suggested donation to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. This year would have been the 60th year of Light Up Night.
