1. Hartwood Acres Concert Series

Enjoy a free summer concert at Harwood Acres. Musicians have included George Clinton, Blues traveler and Rusted Root.

2. 4th of July at Point State Park 

Enjoying the Zambelli Fireworks display from land or from a boat is something everyone should experience. There is nothing quite like the skyline, the people, the music and the festivities 

3. Bike Riding on the (North Shore & South Side) "Jail" Trail

Enjoy a nice bike ride, walk or rollerblade around The Point across the Hot Metal Bridge and  through the South Side. Its a great workout and a very nice way to see the city. 

4. Disc Golf at Knob Hill

Located just a half hour outside of downtown, Knob hill is arguably the best disc golf course near the city of Pittsburgh. Throw a few flicks, huck it and go for a hole in one. It doesn't get any better on a a nice day in the summer.

5. Strip District on a Saturday Morning

The Strip District is a one-half square mile area northeast of downtown Pittsburgh. "The Strip." as it is familiarly known, is just that -- a narrow strip of land in a flood plain confined by natural boundaries: the Allegheny River to the north and the extension of Grant's Hill to the south. Taking a walk in the historic strip district is a wonder morning. Take time to enjoy the people, the smells, the fresh vegetables.  Make sure you go through Wholey's to see the fresh fish and the Pennsylvania Macaroni Company for the many cheeses and deli.

6. Movies in the Park

Stretch out on your blanket during a warm summer evening and enjoy some great movies at “Cinema in the Park” series. Choose your favorite movie-watching location: Flagstaff Hill/Schenley Park, Riverview Park, Grandview Park, Arsenal Park, Brookline Memorial Park, East Liberty or West End/Elliott Overlook.

7. Enjoy the Pittsburgh Skyline

Take a drive up to Mt. Washington and take a walk along Grandview avenue to see our world famous skyline. Although not free (almost though) taking the Duquesne Incline completes the journey. 

8. Three Rivers Arts Festival

During June, the downtown area is transformed by the Three Rivers Arts Festival. See the hundreds of artist sell their unique artistic creations. Free to attend, you can easily find yourself buying something for your home.

9. Root for the Steelers, Pens, Pirates & Pitt 

You don't need to go to the game to route for the Pens to go to the Stanley cup, the Steelers to win the Super Bowl (again), or the Pirates to win the World Series. No matter where you are it's fun to route for Pittsburgh Sports. 

10. Wings Over Pittsburgh Air Show

Enjoy the free Air Show held each May.  Watch the jets go by, the skydivers fall from the sky and see planes up close and personal. Great for the kids.
