While the city of Pittsburgh is bustling with events throughout the year, the suburbs of Pittsburgh are oft-overlooked spots for summer fun. Don’t miss out on spectacular firework displays on the Fourth of July or the opportunity to unwind poolside in the South Hills.

Celebrate the Fourth of July with grand firework displays
Upper St. Clair and South Fayette are holding a joint firework display on July 4 from 9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. in Fairview Park. The display is free and can be viewed from around the townships. Parking is limited at Fairview Park, but you can park and watch it from afar at Upper St. Clair’s Community & Recreation Center, 1551 Mayview Road. f you’re not eager to be up at 11:30 p.m., Dormont is holding an earlier display from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. for Dormont Day in the Dormont Pool’s parking lot, 1801 Dormont Ave. The three-hour event features musical performances from The Smeres and Justin Fabus from 7 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., respectively, before the Zambelli fireworks are launched at 9:35 p.m. While you’re there, snag a grab bag and get some food from Tom’s Diner on Wheels and Kona Ice.
