Blacktie & Tailpipes Gala

Saturday, July 13, 2019, from 6:30- 11:00 pm at the Carnegie Museum

Our Blacktie & Tailpipes Gala opens Grand Prix Race Week in formal style! Please join us as we take our party, and our cars, to the Carnegie Museums of Art & Natural History in Oakland. This is the first time we have held the gala at the Carnegie Museum, just a few minutes away from our racing home in Schenley Park. This is a must for any auto enthusiast who enjoys shiny cars, fine dining and great company. In addition to being one of the city’s best summer parties it is also a significant fund raiser for our charity partners.

The PVGP is excited to announce that Lexus Pittsburgh is the title sponsor of the 2019 Blacktie & Tailpipes Gala.

Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh in Oakland, is located minutes from downtown! The historic building and regal spaces including the Music Hall Foyer make it Pittsburgh’s premier party venue.
