3 Rivers arts festival in Pittsburgh
Whattya wanna know?
It's always very cool. The Arts Fest itself is nice, but the shows are the highlight.
They are held in a big park on the point - Point State Park. PSP is right downtown so there's lots to do before/after & plenty of places to stay. The Hilton Hotel is literally at the entrance to the park.
It's a pretty casual event. If you are discreet it's easy to bring in a little wine/beer. Get there early & throw down a blanket. The last few years - we got there 2 hours before & could get as close to the stage as we wanted for Wilco.
I'll be there for DBT for sure. Maybe a few others (Aimee Mann)

i'd recommend hitting a pirates game. it's just across the river from PSP, and is the best stadium in baseball.
