April 12 holds a special significance for the Steel City of Pittsburgh. It’s known as 412 Day, a celebration of the city’s identity and heritage. This unique holiday pays tribute to Pittsburgh’s area code, 412, and provides an opportunity for residents, affectionately called Yinzers, to come together and honor their hometown.

This day is special for the Wilson couple as well. While Ciara’s “Out of This World” tour tickets go on sale on this day, Steelers’ QB Russell Wilson celebrates the 412 Day for the first time.

Russell Wilson’s tribute on 412 Day

Russell Wilson’s story features a yellow clock with the words “412 DAY Pittsburgh, PA” written on it. His post captured the essence of the day, highlighting his appreciation for the city and its traditions.

The roots of the 412 area code date back to 1947, but its current form was established in 1998, encompassing not only Pittsburgh but also neighboring communities in Allegheny County. In 2018, thanks to a proclamation by former Mayor Bill Peduto in collaboration with Shop 412, a local retailer that celebrates Pittsburgh’s culture, 412 Day was officially recognized as a holiday.

As Yinzers come together to celebrate 412 Day, they engage in various activities and events that showcase the spirit of Pittsburgh. From neighborhood gatherings to social media posts, the day serves as a reminder of the city’s resilience and unity.

While Russell Wilson is celebrating the Steelers tradition, his wife is busy with her upcoming tour.
