In a social media post, Gainey said all of the events went smoothly, without any major public safety incidents.

“My administration has been working diligently to make Pittsburgh the safest city in America and I am proud of the work that every public safety official did to make sure that everyone was able to celebrate peacefully this weekend,” Gainey said. “This is what a city coming together looks like and I know that when we continue working together we will be an example to the nation about what it means for everyone to feel safe, and welcome, and have opportunities to thrive.”
