PITTSBURGH You ll need reservations to gain free access to the limited-capacity concerts and Artists Market at this year s Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival, June 4-13.
A mix of in-person and virtual events will happen for the 62nd installment of one of downtown Pittsburgh s biggest events, temporarily moved this year from Point State Park and Gateway Center to limited-capacity venues in the city s Cultural District.
The biggest change for the 2021 festival is the layout and footprint, said director Sarah Aziz, noting the festival showcases facilities closed much of the last 13 months. The Cultural Trust’s galleries, theaters, and arts venues will have their doors open for the first time in more than a year, Aziz said. We could not be more excited.”
