Celebrate the changing season and beer! Penn Brewery Oktoberfest opens its doors to the public to share its freshest seasonal draft beers. Enjoy a good local brew as you munch on the delicious German specialties like bratwurst and sauerkraut, listen to live entertainment, meet radio show personalities, enter contests and more. Must be 21 and over for this festival.
Bikers and hikers will love the Montour Trail. Part of the Great Allegheny Passage that stretches from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C., this particular section consists of a multi-use non-motorized recreational rail-trail near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. New sections are being added each year, so expect the 40-mile trail to continue growing.
Have your breath taken away as you travel up the Duquesne Incline. Once the main mode of transportation for Pittsburghers to get up the incredibly steep hills, nowadays the historic funicular takes guests up to the top of Mt. Washington for the best view of downtown. Children will get a kick out of the authentic car, the old photographs and artifacts in the upper station, and the ride up and down the mountain.
