Changing venues isn’t easy, and many people wondered how the vibe of past events would transfer to the new setting. Pittsburgh Brewing Company is the home of Iron City Beer, a presenting partner of the show since day one. Their impressive 43-acre facility is the former site of the historic PPG Glass factory, originally built in 1883. Our goal was to take the primary elements of what made Glory Daze a success at the Carrie Blast Furnaces and fit them into this new, larger layout. The indoor invitational was moved to the warehouse building of the brewery, with the outdoor Courtyard area and vendor rows sitting right outside. Just like the last venue, those who arrived on bikes could pull into the show and park in the middle of the action.
In celebration of the move, we organized a groovy outdoor car show featuring interesting rides ranging from gassers and roadsters to classic vans and pickups. The Courtyard was also upgraded with the addition of the Ives Brothers Wall of Death and a stage for live music from Different Places in Space, The Yeggs, and Black Ridge. The venue’s Brew House is the new home of the Trippy Ten helmet art show where presenting partner, Torc Helmets, was set up with live painting from T10 selected artist Mike Stivale.
