Grammy award-winning musical artist Farruko is coming to the Steel City! In a special collaboration with the Pittsburgh Metro Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation and UC Entertainment, Farruko will be performing a one-night only concert at the PPG Paints Arena this September.
In a post on Facebook, the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce announced the Hispanic Heritage Festival & Concert, “an event that celebrates and showcases the rich culture, traditions, and contributions of the Hispanic community.” As the post noted, the aim of the festival is “to promote cultural awareness, visibility and appreciation while providing a platform for the community to come together and share our talents and stories.”
The Hispanic Heritage Festival & Concert will benefit the Hispanic Chamber Foundation, a 501c3 whose mission is to provide economic elevation programming to the Hispanic community through educational programs and opportunities for economic growth. More information about vendors, performances, and community opportunities will be announced soon!
The concert will take place at 8 pm on September 30, 2023 at Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena. Tickets can be found at this link.
