Inspired by historic Autumn fireside traditions, the inaugural Pittsburgh FireWalk will be a series of Saturday night, firelit carnivals produced by City of Play.
At the center of old Allegheny City, our Hearth will feature a firelit carnival with games, activities, and specialty vendors of arts, food, and drink.
Three wood-burning sculptures will be positioned through Allegheny Commons in a magnificent new Public Art installation. These “cauldrons” are each designed and forged by skilled metal-craft artisans from our partners at Rivers of Steel. Throughout the evening, each fire will be carefully tended by local storytellers, musicians, and dancers.
Long-time residents, curious students, local business owners, community organizations, and travelers of all types are invited to meet each other in the streets and celebrate the mythical thrill of an Autumn night by firelight.
