As July starts to come to a close, August brings the start of school and with it less opportunities to explore events in Pittsburgh outside of your daily schedule. Use this week of July 20-26 as a chance to make the best of summer with family-friendly events and even a few that might have you leaving the kids at home. After all, don’t you deserve an evening out on the town, too?
