- 2023 Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts FestivalFriday June 2 – Sunday June 1112:00 pm – 9:00 pm2023 Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts FestivalCultural District, Pittsburgh
>>> TrustArts.org/TRAF <<< June 2-11, 2023 | Pittsburgh’s Cultural District The sounds of summertime in Pittsburgh return to the Cultural District, June 2-11, as the Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival, a production of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, welcomes you for 10 days of free art and music. The Festival’s revamped footprint builds on the successes of last year’s event, which took place entirely in the Cultural District for the first time, and offers an enhanced guest experience. One enhancement is the relocation of the Dollar Bank Main Stage to the intersection of Fort Duquesne Boulevard and Stanwix Street. Audiences will benefit from overlooking Pittsburgh’s beautiful Allegheny River and having access to more grass area, tree cover, and nearby food and drink options. Guests shopping in the Artist Market will find a new layout, but also familiar spaciousness, achieved in last year’s move to the Cultural District. More than 300 artists from around the region and country will sell fine arts and fine crafts on both sides of Fort Duquesne Boulevard, stretching between 6th and 9th Streets. The Giant Eagle Creativity Zone, Backyard Stage, Acoustic Stage, and Food Court will connect the Artist Market to the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s indoor galleries, rounding out a compact, pedestrian-friendly Festival layout.
