Macaroni KID Pittsburgh North Summer Festival Guide

Your Complete 2023 Guide to Western Pennsylvania's Summer Festivals

By CeCe Schantz July 12, 2023

There's something about summer festivals that take you back in time! We have included a great assortment of festivals from all parts of the region!

The anticipation and excitement of running into friends and the wonder and discovery of new encounters, as a kid, makes the time magical! Not to mention, the festive carnival atmosphere of the food, music, lights, rides and playing games until close help to magnify the joy of it all!

Even as an adult, there is still tons of fun to be had in discovering those tastes and sounds that refresh your mind and bring back those forgotten days. It's also a time to make new memories like sharing that first ride with your child that they were too little to ride the year before, or listening to an old favorite tune that takes you back in time. You have to agree, there's something nostalgic about going to the local fair! 

I hope you enjoy looking through our festive festival. You are bound to find a few new places as well as some old favorites to explore!
