The weekend is here, and the fall fun in western Pennsylvania is in full swing. The best part – it’s family-friendly, so let’s dive in!<\/p>\n
Monster Pumpkins Festival<\/p>\n
We begin in the Strip District with the Pittsburgh Monster Pumpkins Festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It features giant pumpkin displays, pumpkin carvings, pumpkin drops, arts and crafts, horse-drawn carriage rides, and so much more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The event is free to check out, and it takes place Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. at the Stacks at 3 Crossings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The reward for the good boys and girls: prizes!\u00a0<\/p>\n It goes from noon until 2 p.m. on Saturday, and it is free. You can get the details at the link above.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pittsburgh Playhouse Fall Fest<\/p>\n The Pittsburgh Playhouse is playing host to a fall fest.\u00a0<\/p>\n You’ll be able to enjoy food, drinks, games, arts and crafts, and plenty of offerings from local vendors.\u00a0<\/p>\n Of course, there will be live performances, but those will require a ticket.\u00a0<\/p>\n It happens this weekend and again next week from Thursday through Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
