The PVGP looks forward to celebrating our 43rd year in 2025 by partying SouthSide Style for our annual Tune-Up as we prepare for the races and car show just a few days later.
Hundreds of cars will gather for a fabulous car show, featuring race cars, exotics, antiques, and show cars, at this exciting street festival in the streets surrounding SHOP 412 and the SouthSide Works Town Square.
Many thanks to Merrill, Bank of America and Porsche Pittsburgh for their tremendous support.
We are looking forward to another great evening on the South Side!
