PITTSBURGH — Looking for something to do this weekend in western Pennsylvania? We've got 11 ideas for you right here!

Pittsburgh Summer Beerfest

Friday and Saturday – North Shore, Stage AE

Beer and brewing enthusiasts from all over the region will be uniting in hoppy harmony June 12-13 to enjoy hundreds of craft beers from over 125 breweries.  There will also be live music and food trucks.  There are three ticket options - regular admission, which gets you in at 7:30 p.m., early admission which gets you in at 6:30 p.m. and then there are designated driver tickets available.  And it's all for a great cause - the festival will be raising money for animal rescue partners.

Maggie Rogers Concert

Sunday, 6:30 p.m.  – North Shore, Stage AE

Once everyone is done recovering from beerfest, two of the biggest indie pop gals are taking the stage.  Back in 2012, Maggie Rogers recorded her first album in a broom closet at Burklee College of Music.  Fast-forward to this year and she's got a smash hit album - "Heard It in a Past Life" - that debuted at number two on the Billboard chart.  You've probably seen the viral video of Pharrell Williams becoming very moved when she played her song "Alaska" for him at NYU.  And she's bringing her unique brand of dreamy art-pop to Stage AE on Sunday night.  But she's not alone.  She's joined by fellow indie-pop genius Natalie Prass, whose own most recent LP debuted at number 10 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. The show is outdoors, rain or shine, and starts at 6:30 p.m.

Kennywood’s Steel Curtain Opens

Opens Saturday at 10:30 a.m. – Kennywood Park, West Miffin, Pa.

The tangled mess of black and gold steel Kennywood calls Steel Curtain is set for its world premiere this weekend. The curtain rises on Saturday!  After months of construction and testing, Steel Curtain is finally ready to deliver its first day of thrills.  Want to be one of the first to ride it?  Well, the park opens at 10:30 a.m., and you'll probably want to get there right around then. Not only is Steel Curtain the tallest roller coaster in Pennsylvania, it features the most inversions of any coaster in North America - a stomach-churning nine - and sports the tallest inversion in the entire world at a dizzying 197 feet.
