5 Things to Do in Pittsburgh This Weekend
Plus, seasonal events around the city.
Pride Night with the Pirates
June 11 | PNC Park
Fireworks will light up the skyline postgame after the annual Pride Night at PNC Park on June 11. The Buccos will face off against the Dodgers at 6:40 p.m., and a portion of ticket sales from the game will support local LGBTQ+ organizations such as MAPS, Proud Haven and the Pittsburgh Equality Center.
21+ Night: Queer as Folklore
June 12 | Kamin Science Center
The Kamin Science Center is inviting folks 21 and older to grab some friends, or meet new ones, and enjoy a night of fantastical fun centered on historical queer folklore and science. The Queer as Folklore event, held on June 12 from 6 to 10 p.m., will include a high-fantasy drag show co-hosted by Ari Nova and Catty Wampus, featuring Savannah Ray and Tess Tickles. There will also be themed cocktails and mocktails, performances by the Pittsburgh Pride Choir, talks about the history behind queer-coded mythology and representatives from local LGBTQ+ organizations sharing resources. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online.
Allentown Night Market
June 13 | Allentown
The Allentown Night Market, known for its mix of underground art, unconventional performances and eclectic shopping, will come to Allentown from 7 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, June 13. The market has long been a bi-annual event, with festivities in both June and October. Moving forward, however, it will transition to an annual event held in October.
Strawberry Festival
June 13 | First Presbyterian Church of Edgewood
If you love strawberries, this is the place to be. From chocolate-dipped strawberries and refreshing strawberry lemonade to the Pittsburgh favorite, strawberry pretzel salad, there will be strawberry treats galore. And don’t worry, the classic strawberry shortcake topped with ice cream and whipped cream will once again be served from the church side lawn. This year’s festival will also feature live acoustic music from local Edgewood band MilePost6, lawn games for kids and kids-at-heart, temporary tattoos, fresh strawberries sold by the bunch, and a bake sale filled with homemade goodies. If your tummy is rumbling for something a little more savory, enjoy a hot dog fresh off the grill. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 13.
Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival
June 11-14 | Arts Landing
The 67th annual Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival is back for its second weekend June 11-14. Featuring hundreds of artists and musicians over seven days, this annual Pittsburgh festival is one of the best ways to start your summer.
