2026 Kennedy Lawrence Dinner

Honoring Our Legacy, Fighting for Our Future

At the end of every summer, the Allegheny County Democratic Committee hosts a very special evening, our annual Kennedy-Lawrence Dinner.

Each year, this special evening brings us together to hear inspiring words and enjoy the company of friends, new and old.

Our committee is held together by our shared Democratic values, but also by the lasting community and friendships we build while working to be the change we want to see.

This event is also special because it allows our members to meet candidates and elected officials before election day!

This year’s Kennedy-Lawrence Dinner is going to be one of our biggest and most special yet. This year marks a special milestone as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Kennedy Lawrence Dinner.

Join us on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, beginning at 5:00 p.m., for an unforgettable evening featuring:

  • an inspiring keynote address from Congressman Greg Casar.
  • Silent auction
  • Our famous cookie table
  • Great food, friends, and fellowship

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
