More concerts, festivals and parties are coming to the Steel City this summer.
Why it matters: Yinzers might already be tired after hosting the NFL draft, but the events aren't slowing down.
Zoom in: We mapped out the biggest events of the summer to help you attend (or avoid) as many as possible.
- It starts with a free Nelly and Third Eye Blind concert at Point State Park on June 27.
- There are two chances to hit the Open Streets festivals that close local roads to cars.
- July Fourth weekend brings the furries back Downtown with Anthrocon, and our Independence Day celebration covers the Point and the North Shore.
- Picklesburgh (July 16-19) is bigger than ever.
- Several free World Cup watch parties will fill Acrisure.
- Barrel & Flow, our award-winning Black beer festival, is back in the Strip.
- The Pedal PGH bike ride returns in late August. Make sure to check online for routes across the city.
The bottom line: Whether you are a booster or a hater, this is our year to sell Pittsburgh to the masses, and there are more opportunities than ever.
