We made it through the first weekend of September, and now we get a three-day weekend as our reward. Here are some things to do with the extra free time.
‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’
Late-night showings of “Rocky Horror” are by no means a rare occasion in Pittsburgh, but this Saturday night screening will hold special meaning after the death of star Tim Curry last week.
This screening will be accompanied by a live shadow cast performance by the Junior Chamber of Commerce Players. Come to see the show, sing along, do all the callbacks and enjoy the memories of this film on the Row House Hollywood mega-screen.
The show is 10:30 p.m. Saturday at Row House Hollywood in Dormont. To learn more and get tickets, visit rowhousecinemas.com.
Garfield Night Market
Night Market season is winding down soon, but not before Garfield’s event Friday night. The market will include artists, food vendors, musicians and more, so bring the whole family. In addition, participants can meet local representatives and organizations, chow down on delicious local foods and check out local installations and activities.
Whether you’re from the local area or just dropping in to see what’s going on, this is a great opportunity to learn more about Garfield and its vibrant business district.
The event is based at 113 N. Pacific Ave. in Garfield on Friday from 5 to 10 p.m. Learn more at the Facebook event listing here.
Arts Landing movie night
One advantage to the toasty weather this week is warm nights that you can spend outdoors. Spend this Friday night on the Great Lawn at Arts Landing in Downtown Pittsburgh for a movie night.
The movie is “Death Becomes Her,” the 1992 Robert Zemeckis film starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis. This creepy comedy (rated PG-13) is full of camp, big laughs and fun.
The event is at 8 p.m. Friday at Arts Landing in Downtown Pittsburgh. To learn more, visit trustarts.org.

Featuring artists October London and Eric Benét, this is a musical celebration of soulful vocals, great music and sophistication. From soul classics to modern hits, these performers will bring the best of a genre to the stage.
