Most Pidyon HaBen's take place in the afternoon. Do you say Tachanun at Mincha which is immediately preceding a Pidyon HaBen? (sources)

Might it depend on whether the pidyon is around the same time/place as the t'fila? – msh210♦ Jan 19 '12 at 16:19
It might. I do not know. My question is regarding a Mincha immediately preceding a Pidyon. – Gershon Gold Jan 19 '12 at 16:23
I'm guessing yes. A seudat mitzva doesn't make it a yom tov (eg a siyum). – Double AA♦ Jan 19 '12 at 18:19
Do you have any reason to suspect mincha is any different from shacharit? – Double AA♦ Aug 14 '12 at 21:59

If the Pidyon Haben and its festive meal will take place immediately after davening, Tachanun is not recited (Ishai Yisrael 25:26 quoting Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach).

However the Mishnas Yehoshua brings in the name of the Sova Semochos that you do say Tachanun at a Pidyon HaBen
