Full weekend expected in Pittsburgh with Women’s March, sporting events, celebrations

Downtown Pittsburgh is alive again on a weekend jam-packed with celebrations, sporting events and a demonstration.

All are expected to drive big crowds to the area.

“It’s wonderful to be back outside in downtown,” said Rhonda Jones of Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are putting it all on the line for a crucial playoff matchup tonight.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are at home on the Northshore on Friday as well as Saturday evening.

It all coincides with the Women’s March Pittsburgh rally on Saturday at noon at the City County Building.

It’s in response to the Supreme Court’s pending ruling on Roe v. Wade.

“My body, my choice and we will say hands off our body,” said Tracy Baton, director of the Pittsburgh Women’s March.

Organizers are expecting a much larger turnout than the last event with upwards of three thousand people as well as counter protesters.

They will start at the City County Building and eventually march to Market Square for additional speeches and demonstrations.
