The 62nd Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival is on this year, and it will include outdoor performances, food vendors, and Artist Market booths—and it has expanded to include Point State Park.
“We could not be more grateful to our governor, elected officials, and partners at the park for making this transition to utilization of Point State Park possible,” said Sarah Aziz, director of the Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival and director of festival management for the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. “It’s really a dream come true.”
Dollar Bank Main Stage music headliners, which include Celisse on June 4; Bassel and the Supernaturals on June 5; Rayland Baxter on June 6; Shemekia Copeland on June 11; Caroline Rose on June 12 and Son Little on June 13 will now perform at Point State Park. As is tradition, the festival remains free and open to the public, and the move outdoors ensures that more guests can enjoy the music headliners live and in person.
Festival hours remain the same—12-8 p.m. daily—with the Dollar Bank Main Stage performances beginning at 7 p.m. and ending by 10 p.m. each night. The festival will include both hybrid and in-person attractions, including:
Artist Market: In-person and virtual
The 2021 Artist Market features 150+ independent artists in an open-air setting, selling handmade fine art and fine crafts from 12-8 p.m. each day of the festival. Each of this year’s four Artist Market locations features two distinct sessions, meaning that you can discover new artists in the same spot when you visit the festival a second time. In addition to the 150+ artists on-site, 200+ more from around the country are participating simultaneously in the virtual Artist Market at TrustArts.org/TRAF starting on June 4.
