You know it’s summer when the Three Rivers Arts Festival begins! There’s even more reason to celebrate because this year the festival is both in-person and virtual, which takes place June 4-13! Sit back in the grass, take in the jams—live music is back! Here’s your guide to the free 10 day festival!

In-Person!

Get ready for a live show! Oh it feels great! The Dollar Bank Main Stage at Point State Park will feature 6 different nights of live music every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 7:30pm (June 4,5,6,11,12,13). It’s free as always. However, no park attractions Monday-Thursday. 

The artist market will showcase 150+ independent artists in an open-air setting, with handmade fine arts and crafts (12-8pm daily). There are 3 locations: Benedum Lot, Trust Oasis, and the new Allegheny Overlook Pop-up Park (more on that shortly!). The artist market in Point State Park is only open Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. 

If you’re looking for more live music, head over to the Allegheny Overlook Pop-up Park (Fort Duquesne Boulevard between Stanwix and 7th Street). The stage will have awesome regional music and dance acts everyday between 12-8pm!
