June is always an interesting month in Pittsburgh. Spring is turning to summer, temperatures are rising (often rapidly), and many, many outdoor events take place throughout the month- including some of our very favorites.
So in this one we wanted to share a few June-focused events for you to check out if you decide to visit Pittsburgh this month!
The Three Rivers Arts Festival
One of the biggest festivals in Pittsburgh every year is the Three Rivers Arts Festival. This massive event runs for roughly 10 days and features artists from all over southwest Pennsylvania and the country at large plus musical acts, unique art exhibits, and a whole lot more.
In 2024 the Three Rivers Arts Festival will run from May 31st to June 9th. Main Stage acts in 2024 include the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Los Lonely Boys, Pokey LaFarge, Sugarhill Gang, and Ben Folds to name a few.

Pittsburgh Pride
Pride celebrations take place all over the country in June which corresponds to LGBT Pride Month that commemorates the Stonewall Riots of 1969.

Phipps Conservatory's Summer Flower Show
Phipps Conservatory's Summer Flower Show returns with the nautical theme Under the Sea! Check out nautical themed designs, flowers, and more at this classic show that will run through early September.
Phipps requires tickets to be purchased in advance. Click here to schedule your visit!
Beers of the Burgh
Beers of the Burgh is arguably the most popular beer festival in Pittsburgh. The reason? It showcases dozens of breweries in Western Pennsylvania all with the iconic Carrie Furnace as its backdrop! We never say no to sipping on local beer, but doing so in the ruins of a former steel mill makes this one distinctly Pittsburgh all around.
In 2024, Beers of the Burgh is taking place on one day only, Saturday June 8th. As this one is sure to sell out, be sure to get your tickets early!

Cinema in the Park
Dollar Bank's Cinema in the Park is one of the most enjoyable activities in the summer months as pop-up movie screens can be found on select nights in parks all over the city like Schenley Park, Grandview Park, Riverview Park (just following Stars at Riverview Jazz on select nights), and more. Just be sure to get there early as these shows can be quite popular!

Kennywood's Bites and Pints Event
Weekends at Kennywood are about to get a whole lot tastier with the return of their annual Bites and Pints event- historically running on weekends in June and July (dates vary). Guests at Kennywood are able to sample chef creations from around the world with dishes from Greece, Italy, the Caribbean, Germany, Poland, Asia, and Mexico. These can be purchased either a la carte or through pre-paid 8 or 12 sample “Bite Cards” that can be used throughout the month.
