On Wednesday, September 14th, there will be a Downtown Rooftop Shindig at the Theatre Square garage. This monthly event is sponsored by the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership. This will be the last shindig of the season and will feature the movie Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. This event is also a short walk from your home at The Encore on 7th.

If you want an event that will get you up and moving, make sure to register for the Pittsburgh Great Race. This annual race will be held on Sunday, September 25th this year. This event includes a 10k, 5k, fitness walk and the Junior Great Race. The Great Race is also a “green event”. Compostable cups at the water stops and an online virtual race bag are all examples of how the Great Race is committed to staying green.

Finally, if you want to explore the cultural district, make sure to get your tickets to Kinky Boots. This Tony-Award winning Broadway musical is coming to the Benedum Center on September 20th-25th. The original cast also has a Pittsburgh connection. Pittsburgh-native Billy Porter won a Tony for playing the lead role of Lola.
