PITTSBURGH (WPXI) — The Christmas trees are lit in downtown Pittsburgh to kick off the holiday season. Thousands of people showed up for Light Up Night. The festivities kicked off on a Saturday for the first time. This is the 60th year for the annual event that was canceled last year due to COVID-19. It’s the quintessential start of the holiday season in Pittsburgh. For vendors like Dave Keibler, who owns Blue Ribbon Kettle Corn, just being able to be present this year is very much welcomed. Perhaps the most magical moment of the night, especially for the kids, is getting to see Santa, who always seems to capture the magic of the holidays.
