Riverlife’s Shore Thing is a floating platform anchored just off Allegheny Landing on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, nestled between the iconic Sister Bridges. Built on ten small barges, this 4,500-square-foot space is part gathering spot, part creative lab, and all Pittsburgh, bringing people together through art, play, and community.
Shore Thing invites visitors to experience the riverfront in a new way: unexpected, evolving, and made for everyone.
