⚠️ Both elevators in the DLCC near the Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom (on Westin side) are now out of commission. If you require elevator access to or out of the building, please use the East Lobby entrance on the street level, or walk to the skybridge on the 3rd floor where our team will escort you.

ℹ️ we've also made the decision to close the DLCC outdoor terrace areas early to help facilitate our closing, happening later today. You can continue to hang out around indoor spaces, then after 6 PM we'll focus folks to the area in front of the Main Events ballroom and lockers!

(late repost from other channels) ℹ️ Hey all, there have been some complaints and posts through the weekend regarding false claims of AI usage. Our team has made a small statement. TL;DR AI slop sucks, we don't do it, and we appreciate those that inform us about wrongful usage.

🚌 transportation services should be running normally in normal pickup locations, and will continue to until 1 AM tonight. ☀️ due to the ongoing weather concerns, the rooftop has been closed early. We will provide any updates regarding any further closures in the DLCC.

Update on fireworks tonight: City of Pittsburgh says that fireworks will start at 10 PM after inclement weather. If anything changes with our ability to have the roof open for fireworks viewing, we will let folks know! 🎇

⚠️ An important announcement regarding the cancellation of the 2026 Fursuit Parade and Block Party due to the extreme heat and severe weather situation in the Pittsburgh forecast.

Anthrocon has been closely monitoring the extreme heat and severe weather situation in Pittsburgh forecast for this weekend. Convention leadership has been in contact with emergency services personnel and other entities regarding this situation.

After careful consideration for the health, safety, and wellbeing of our fursuiters, attendees, and residents of Pittsburgh, Anthrocon has decided to cancel the 2026 Fursuit Parade and Block Party scheduled for 2pm, July 4th.

We know both Anthrocon attendees and our friends in Pittsburgh look forward to this event every year; but the health and safety of all concerned is our paramount priority.

Anthrocon attendees should look for announcements of alternative indoor activities in place of the parade this year. We apologize for the necessity of this decision and hope you’ll continue to enjoy the events throughout the holiday weekend.

Watch out for our Charity Bucket Brigade going around - they'll go going around with farm animal friends and looking for your support raising money for J and J Animal Farms Sanctuary! ❤️💸🦆🦃🐴 📸 Aisling

Daily reminder: stay hydrated in these high temperatures! Your body requires more water than normal; make sure you keep a water bottle at all times and take plenty of breaks! 💦
