We are deep in the good, unbothered part of summer now, and the city is leaning all the way into it.

Two of this weekend's best things are free: Schenley Plaza throws itself a 20th-birthday party in Oakland, carousel rides and all, and the Pirates host the Cubs twice down at PNC Park with the rivers doing their thing behind the outfield.

Around those, Suffs brings its Tony-winning suffrage musical to the Benedum, a genuinely good indie band plays Lawrenceville for nothing, there are goats doing yoga on the South Side, and an ABBA disco brunch is happening in the Strip.

Wear sunscreen, pace yourself!
