Penn’s Colony Festival and Folk Art Marketplace (Sept. 22-23 & 29-30)

This family-friendly festival takes visitors on trip back in time to the French and Indian War-era of the Pittsburgh region. A recreated colonial village is filled with battle re-enactments, authentic live music performances, historic magic shows, children’s activities, 25 food vendors and entertainment reminiscent of the “Publick Tymes” fairs of the 18th century. More than 185 artisans will take part in a folk art marketplace, as well. Parking is free.
