In 2007, Forbes magazine named Pittsburgh the tenth cleanest city, and in 2008 Forbes listed Pittsburgh as the thirteenth best city for young professionals to live. The city is consistently ranked high in livability surveys. In 2007, Pittsburgh was named

Point State Park, located at confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers, is the site of the Three Rivers Regatta—our country’s largest land, air, and water festival—and the city’s Independence Day celebration. Music, powerboat racing, fireworks displays, waterski shows, and extreme sports are all part of this three-day celebration of America’s birthday.
