With the kids officially out of school, we’re lining up events in Pittsburgh from June 9-15 that both parents and kids alike will enjoy. But don’t worry, we made sure to include some adult-only activities for your own peace of mind, too. Will you lounge at a summer block party by the library? Or, will you treat yourself to an exquisite wine dinner? Either way, we’ll be embracing summer right along with you!

Allentown Night Market
June 14, 800 Block of Warrington Avenue
Head out during sunset to the streets of Allentown for a night market with oddity vendors, local artisans, punk products, and so much more. Besides the shopping you can also catch some of Pittsburgh’s best food vendors, take in a circus sideshow, get a quick tattoo, and jam out to live music. This market only happens twice a year so you won’t want to miss your first opportunity!
