The week of Christmas seems to fly by in a flash. But, you can take advantage of this magical time of year with these great events around the city of Pittsburgh from December 23-29. Help get your kiddos in the holly-jolly spirit with a craft workshop or storytime. Then, save the weekend for the grownups at an R&B concert, whiskey tasting, or comedy show to let the stress of the holidays fade away. Plus, it’s your last chance to savor the festivities before the holiday season ends along with the chaotic year of 2024.
