Things to Do & Enjoy

A trending theme of arts and entertainment is defining the future of Sto-Rox. It began on the Chartiers Avenue business district in 2008 with the Father Ryan Arts Center, a state-of-the-art facility offering classes, recording studios, performances, and exhibitions. The Parkway Theater brings film to the neighborhood as a trendy movie house and screening lounge with craft beer brewed on site by Abjuration Brewery. And in 2019, the long-awaited restoration of the historic Roxian Theatre reopened it as a 1,400+ capacity contemporary concert venue — filling a real gap in Pittsburgh’s music scene and putting McKees Rocks back on the map.

As a catalyst for neighborhood stability and economic vitality, the Sto-Rox Arts & Entertainment District elevates the McKees Rocks experience for residents and regional audiences alike — stimulating participation, engagement, and investment.
