Farmers Markets
Fridays from 3:30 to 7:30 p m, May-November, Allegheny Commons East Park, East Ohio Street & Cedar Avenue.
The setting for our Farmers Market couldn’t be better: under a canopy of trees in East Commons Park along Cedar Avenue. During the peak summer months and into the fall you’ll find hundreds of neighbors shopping among dozens of booths.
Expect at least a dozen friendly farmers with lush displays of fresh, locally grown produce, even flowers. In addition, you’ll find Amish-made cheeses and breads, freshly prepared foods, and other vendors offering samples of their tasty jams and salsas. Our Farmers Market is a part of Citiparks. |

 Pumpkinfest
October of each year
Pumpkinfest is the largest children’s fall festival in the City of Pittsburgh, and it’s right in our very own backyard! Each year, East Allegheny Community Council puts together an afternoon of fall fun for neighborhood children and their families to enjoy.
