Travel back in time at the Greater Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival. Featuring different themes each weekend they are open, this festival strives to provide a unique experience each visit. Whether you are there to meander through the artisan’s marketplace, watch a jousting tournament or slay a dragon, there are plenty of activities for people of all ages and walks of life.
Described as Pittsburgh’s most adventurous theater, City Theatre specializes in producing new plays and contemporary productions that appeal to a diverse audience. Witness the development of a new show at this professional not-for-profit theater and support local actors, artists and playwrights. City Theatre offers different shows in its three entertainment facilities during each season, so there are plenty of performances to choose from.
Escape the noise of the city and spend some time outdoors at Frick Park. Stretching from Point Breeze down to the Monongahela River, this woodland park offers extensive trails, a large bird population, tennis courts, baseball fields and the only public lawn bowling green in Pennsylvania. If you are visiting during the winter, bring your sled to take advantage of the steep hills.
