Community Day

USC Community Day Delivers Fun for All Ages

Upper St. Clair’s 2026 Community Day was truly out of this world. The annual celebration kicked off with a morning filled with activities, including the 5K Fun Run/Walk, Toddler Trot, football relays and opening ceremonies at the high school stadium.

Families then lined McLaughlin Run Road for the community parade before enjoying a full day of entertainment and activities. Guests explored the petting zoo, food and activity booths, inflatable obstacle course, library programs, pony rides and much more.

Bake-Off entries were showcased in the McLaughlin Run Activity Center, which also hosted a bake sale and bingo to support programming for local senior citizens. Visitors also enjoyed stops at Gillfillan Farm and the Log House throughout the day.

This year’s theme – Cosmic Community Day – perfectly matched the event’s energetic atmosphere and community spirit. The district extends its thanks to the Upper St. Clair Student Council, led by Brooke Tarcson, along with the Upper St. Clair Township recreation and facilities departments for their hard work and planning in making the annual event a success.
