Some weekends the city hands you one big thing to build a Saturday around. This one hands you two, and both are free.

Picklesburgh, the pickle-obsessed street festival that USA Today keeps voting the best specialty food festival in the country, sprawls across Downtown and the Roberto Clemente Bridge.

A few minutes away, the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix runs actual vintage race cars through the streets of Schenley Park, the last event of its kind in the country.

Around those two you get a blues legend in the Strip, a macaron class at the Frick and Cyril Neville playing Hartwood for nothing. Bring stretchy pants and sunscreen.

In today's What's On Pittsburgh:

Let's get to it. - Madison Johnson

🥒 Picklesburgh turns Downtown and the Roberto Clemente Bridge into a four-day shrine to all things pickled, from pickle-juice drinks to the competitive pickle-eating stage, and it runs free from Thursday through Sunday.

🎭 Company drops Stephen Sondheim's sharp, funny musical about marriage and staying single into the intimate Greer Cabaret Theater downtown, playing through the weekend.
