Three Rivers Arts Festival brings music, food, fun to Downtown Pittsburgh

School is out and the days are getting warmer, but the real sign of summer’s arrival in Pittsburgh is the return of the Three Rivers Arts Festival.

For nearly 60 years the sprawling 10-day event has taken over a large part of Downtown, with an epicenter in the Cultural District. Hundreds of thousands of people attend each year, drawn by a wide variety of live music, visual art exhibitions, handmade craft sales, food trucks, children’s activities and performing arts shows.

Festival cornerstones like the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and the juried visual art exhibition will be joined by musical artists like Dawes and Michael Kiwanuka and unique performances from groups like Blue Lapis Light, which bills itself as an “aerial dance team.”
