Pittsburgh’s shift into the pre-holiday mode leaves you with a number of cultural and cozy experiences to keep you busy November 10-16. We want you to immerse yourself in a dramatic opera, toast to the season at a spirits festival, get an early start on winter light magic, or do the most Yinzer thing possible and cheer on the Steelers when Sunday rolls around. Get ready to ditch the cold and dive into this week’s lineup of art, history, and all-around community fun.
Pittsburgh Events Happening November 10-16
Here or There
November 10, Carnegie Museum of Art
Combine a day at the museum with a trip to the movies through Carnegie’s film series. In this collective workshop you’ll learn the art of experimental film manipulation facilitated by Pittsburgh Sound + Image. Plus, you’ll get to see your creations come to life on screen and view the film Park Lanes (2015) after the experience.
Winter Wonderland
November 14, The Westmoreland Museum of Art
Be one of the first to check out the opening of The Westmoreland Museum of Art’s Winter Lights program for the holidays. This magical evening features sparkling outdoor light displays, live performances, and interactive demonstrations. Guests can also step inside the museum to experience Winter Tales, a brand new immersive installation, as well as savor festive snacks and drinks.
Fellow Travelers
November 14-16, Byham Theater
Pittsburgh Opera presents Fellow Travelers, a contemporary classic musical drama based on the 2007 novel of the same name. Set in Washington, D.C. during the 1950s McCarthy era, this gut-wrenching story follows the relationship between college graduate Timothy Laughlin and State Department official Hawkins Fuller.
The Whiskey Smash
