Summer’s days are quickly dwindling. Soon, we’ll be wearing our sweaters, lacing up our boots, and drinking everything pumpkin-flavored. Celebrate the start of autumn while bidding summer a fond farewell at this annual festival in Pittsburgh that has something for the whole family. Even better? It’s free.
