Step into the spotlight and get ready to toast to greatness at History Uncorked: LEGENDARY, presented by UPMC and UPMC Health Plan, on Friday, March 6! 

Before the NFL Draft takes over Pittsburgh, celebrate the City of Champions in style at Pittsburgh’s biggest 21+ party of the year. Inspired by the iconic people, places, and moments that define the Steel City, History Uncorked: LEGENDARY will be packed with entertainment and activities that bring first-round energy to this year’s party.  

Throughout the evening, explore six floors of award-winning exhibitions–including our two-floor Sports Museum–at the #1 History Museum in America while enjoying: 

  • Delicious bites from local restaurants 
  • Expanded bar options (new this year!) and signature cocktails 
  • Live music with DJ Bonics and DJ Cake 
  • Silent auction featuring exclusive prizes and experiences 
  • Pittsburgh Legends Trivia with Trivia Jockeys
  • “Legends Only” photobooth where you can step into the spotlight with friends 

Start searching for your best glam-meets-game attire now – if it belongs under the Friday Night lights, we want to see it on March 6! Tunnel ’fits, MVP swagger, and post-game party glow-ups encouraged!
