There’s a festival for nearly every weekend in Pittsburgh. The city throws itself into its celebrations — food, music, heritage, art, cars, and holidays — usually with three rivers and a skyline as the backdrop.
Festival Highlights Through the Year
Summer: the Three Rivers Arts Festival at the Point, the nationally ranked Picklesburgh on the downtown bridges, and the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in Schenley Park. Late summer & fall: Little Italy Days in Bloomfield and the Pittsburgh Irish Festival. Winter: Light Up Night and Highmark First Night downtown ring in the holidays and the new year.
