Pier Pressure III: The Grand Finale
( FUNDRAISEr for american cancer society )
Pittsburgh, this is it.
The final chapter of our 3-part Pier Pressure series, and your final chance to experience the city’s most talked-about waterfront electronic music party.
We started Pier Pressure back in 2023 to bring a world class beach club experience to Pittsburgh. Over the past two years, we’ve delivered electric nights full of music, dancing, and connections under the stars. For our grand finale, we’re going bigger and bolder than ever, and this time it’s for a cause very dear to our hearts.
On September 20th 2025, the Allegheny River becomes your dance floor as we celebrate summer’s closing act, and raise funds for the American Cancer Society. Every beat you dance to, every drink you toast with friends, every moment under the stars will help make a difference.
Picture a golden hour melting into a sunset skyline, deep and tropical-inspired electronic sets from Pittsburgh’s top local DJs, and the energy of a crowd that knows this is a night to remember, not just for the music, but for the impact we can create together.
This experience brought to you by Cirql Social Club and their affiliates, for more information on this amazing group:
