Summer is coming to an end, but that does not mean you have to pack up the shorts and flip flops just yet. Pittsburgh has so many great outdoor events over the next few weeks, that you can squeeze every last drop out of summer 2016. We are also lucky enough to have the Pirates and Steelers to cheer for on the North Shore right across from The Encore on 7th. Check out just a few of the great events occurring in Pittsburgh at the end of summer.
