What an incredible night at PNC Park!
Yesterday, more than 1,000 people came together for Croatian Heritage Night, and the red and white checkers could be seen everywhere throughout the ballpark. It was a beautiful and powerful display of Croatian pride, community, and tradition.
We would like to sincerely thank the Junior Tamburitzans of Duquesne, along with their families and friends, for their incredible rendition of the National Anthem. You represented our culture and community with pride and gave everyone in attendance a moment to remember.
We also congratulate Dan “The Man” Turkall on throwing an excellent Honorary First Pitch and helping make the evening even more special.
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate their Croatian heritage with us. Whether you are a CFU member, part of a local lodge, a tamburitza family, or simply proud of your Croatian roots, your support made this event truly unforgettable.
Because of you, Croatian Heritage Night is now the largest Heritage Night that PNC Park hosts!
Thank you for showing up, celebrating together, and making Croatian Heritage Night such an outstanding success. We are already looking forward to next year!
