Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Oakland
June 10
12 – 5 p.m.
Every year, the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh asks city residents to read more books over the summer than ever before. This year’s challenge: break the record of 180,000 books. It all begins June 10 with a daylong family-friendly celebration complete with live music, arts and crafts, and even a bouncy castle.
Head to the Library’s main branch in Oakland for an outdoor festival that includes guided tours of the historic library, free games for all ages and abilities, and a day full of performances, including ones by Pittsburgh Puppet Works, Pittsburgh Musical Theater, dancers, and a magician. There’s also free musical performances from Pittsburgh’s Timbeleza and 1hood.
Visitors will also be invited to play chess, create friendship bracelets, play Pittsburgh trivia, program a robot, and so much more.
There will be free snacks for the kids and five food trucks on hand to offer more hearty fare. Check out the full day’s lineup.
