PiratesFest returns to convention center in January
David L. Lawrence Convention Center will host 2025 PiratesFest, the all-day festival for Pittsburgh Pirates fans on Jan. 18.
The event will feature autograph and Q&A sessions with Pirates players, as well as appearances by Pirates alumni, coaches, broadcasters and mascots, interactive games and merchandise.
The event is from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., but season ticket holders will be admitted an hour early.
Autograph sessions will be ticketed and sold before the event, with proceeds going to Pirates Charities. There will be a free autograph session for children 14 and younger.
“We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting PiratesFest once again,” Pirates president Travis Williams said in a statement. “This event gives us a chance to connect with our loyal fans while celebrating all things Pirates baseball. We enjoy seeing Pirates fans of all ages come out to enjoy the festivities.”
