OCA Pittsburgh will host its public celebration of Pittsburgh's Historic Chinatown on April 16.
For mroe than 120 years the Chinese have called Pittsburgh ome. Come and help us celebrate the official Pennsylvania landmark designation of Pittsburgh Chinatown!
Attractions will include food, performances, music, and Chinese-American rapper Jason Chu.

The city's Chinatown was granted a state historical marker in March 2021, with a dedication ceremony scheduled for (and cancelled) last September.
