The Pittsburgh and southwestern region festivals in Pennsylvania in July and August offer fireworks, music, a river regatta and a variety of foods.
Enjoy music festivals with blues and folk music or browse for the perfect piece of art or crafts.
Need a birthday or holiday gift?
There’s lots of unique items to find.
These are the two hottest months in Pennsylvania, so cool off around the water with a festival or two. There’s a festival for every family’s taste here.
You’ll find delicious food, local, regional and national artists, and will have a great time in our state!
