PITTSBURGH — The Three Rivers Arts Festival is moving to the Cultural District after decades of having been held in Point State Park.
The announcement about the free festival, which will be held this year from June 3-12, was made Tuesday by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.
“Due to new usage rules and regulations issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for Point State Park, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is no longer able to utilize the site for its ten-day celebration of the arts. The festival will move entirely to the Cultural District in 2022, centered around a pop-up park and stage at Eighth and Penn,” a news release from the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust said.
This year’s festival will feature more than 400 local, regional and national artists. Signature components of the festival will be kept intact, including:
- Ten unique Dollar Bank Mainstage music headliners
- Artist Market featuring more than 300 artistic shops and sellers
- Pittsburgh Cultural Trust visual arts galleries (707 Penn, 820 Liberty, SPACE and Wood Street Galleries)
- Spectacle public art
- Local and regional artists, vendors and groups
The festival will celebrate its 63rd year in 2022.
