It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. The Rainbow Raccoon Park received a major upgrade as the The Borough of Millvale, PA Public Works crew installed the new basketball hoops! Purchased with funding secured by the MCDC and from American Eagle - these hoops are designed to stand the test of time and provide fun options for our children and community as a whole - which is what it’s all about. We are not done yet but included a couple of bonus picks to remind ourselves of how far we have come.

We are so fortunate to have such a caring, professional police department. Sending out deepest appreciation to all of the officers involved in helping save this young man’s life.

The 40th Street Bridge reopened after being closed for about three hours Tuesday while police talked down a man threatening to jump from the Allegheny River span. Millvale police Chief Tim Komoroski said the 26-year-old man was suffering from a mental health issue. He had parked his car on the

We are so fortunate to have Les Murphy and his new business - Murph's Kitchen - now open at Strange Roots Experimental Ales! Welcome to Millvale, Les!

Les Murphy is something of a low-key local hero in Pittsburgh bar food circles.

He’s run kitchens in the city for more than 17 years, with the past 12 as executive chef of Bigham Tavern on Mount Washington. There, Murphy built a menu renowned for, among other things, crispy and delicious chicken wings.

In June, the 53-year-old chef launched Murph's Kitchen inside Strange Roots Experimental Ales' Millvale location, becoming the latest in a string of hospitality veterans striking out on their own this year.

We are excited to announce that we are hosting our first Night Market! A unique night of artists, salsa dancing, food, drinks and live music on an open street block in the walkable town of Millvale. After the successful Millvale Spring market days, we wanted to add a Night Market with a few additions.

The artists, makers and bakers will be set up on the street with food and drink booths from local businesses. Adding onto the market space will be free open street salsa dancing and lessons by Salsa Pittsburgh followed by several local live street bands (to be announced soon!). Lastly, because it's October and a week before Halloween, there will be friendly zombies roaming the streets with awesome gift cards and other treats. A truly unique party in Millvale!

Date: Saturday, October 24, 2026 (rain or shine)
Time: 4 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Place: Grant Avenue (block between Sherman St and Sheridan St - in front of the Millvale Community Library, B-Sides, Steel City Salt Company, Hometown Tattoo Pgh, and other businesses)
Vendors: $25 fee, except for Millvale-based businesses; space is limited to 75 vendors. Must bring your own tent, tables, chairs, everything you need for your booth to be successful - which could include lights since this goes into the night.
