Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership made lemons into “Lemonade” and had some of her biggest hits playing while people browsed goods from local vendors.

There was even a life-size cut-out of Beyoncé for photo opportunities.

Night Markets happen in Market Square most Fridays and Saturdays throughout the summer. For more details on the markets, click here.
