BRITSBURGH FESTIVAL - Tree Planting to honor King Charles III

Britsburgh is kicking off the Britsburgh Festival's 10th Year with a Tree Planting in honor of King Charles III with funds raised during his Coronation year of 2023

All those who donated and interested are most welcome to see the four British trees that have been chosen!

Light refreshments will be served, but all are encouraged to bring your family and pack your picnic basket and enjoy a day at the Allegheny River Trail Park.

TICKETS: Admission is free but we encourage registration so we know how many are coming and for catering purposes, so do please register. Thank you!. Donations to Britsburgh are also welcome and appreciated.

The mission of Allegheny RiverTrail Park (ARP) – formerly known as Aspinwall Riverfront Park – is to enhance the quality of life for the community by providing free public access to parkland and multi-use trails along the Allegheny River. They are committed to riverfront revitalization and inclusive community engagement through recreational, educational, cultural and social activities for a diverse population. 

We cannot think of a better place to continue our mission of enriching the Pittsburgh region with year-round programs and events about British history, tradition and culture that give participants opportunities to engage with one another in a lively spirit of camaraderie.  As well as honoring King Charles III and the late Queen by continuing to plant trees for future generations.
