Fireworks Schedule

Not every Pittsburgh-area community will launch their Independence Day fireworks on (and only on) July 4. You can get your fill of the rocket's red glare and bombs bursting in air throughout the long holiday weekend –– if you know where and when to look. 

Click to access the Pittsburgh area schedule. Maybe you can go to several or find a nice hill from which you can see several displays on the same evening.

Farmers Markets

Farmers market season is here!  Luckily for us, the rural area of Western Pennsylvania provides so many farms, orchards, and producers. 

You can find a farmers market in the greater Pittsburgh area any day of the week! Many have interesting combinations of vendors - the one in my neighborhood has great freshly-made pasta.

Pedal along the Allegheny River with kayaks, paddleboards in Millvale

New crafts have entered Pittsburgh rivers. If you can ride a bike, you can ride these — paddleboards and kayaks powered by pedals. 

The pedal board is a sort of a fusion of a bike, a StairMaster and an elliptical machine. Arturo Pineda advises customers to treat the pedal board just like a bike. 

Tres Rios Sports, at Millvale Riverfront Park, offers solo pedal kayaks and pedal boards ($26/hour) as well as traditional paddleboard rentals. There is one tandem pedal kayak available for $30 per hour. Hours are 10 a.m to 6 p.m Friday through Sunday. The business will be open through the end of August. Click for more information about Tres Rios Sports.
