👔 Dress Code
Vibe
Celebration Attire
What this means
Dress up, but you won't need a tuxedo. Think: what you'd wear to a nice dinner out or a work event where you wanted to look sharp. Suits, cocktail dresses, dressy separates — all great. Jeans are fine if they're dressed up.
Heads up
It's a daytime luncheon and there will be dancing — dress comfortably. September in Pittsburgh can be 60–80°F. Layers are smart.
Kippahs
Kippahs available at the entrance for those who'd like one.
💡 Good to Know

Photography
