Come play in Deutschtown! We have several annual events and activities that attract neighbors and residents from across the city and beyond.
Farmers MarketsFridays from 3:30 to 7:30 pm, May-November, Allegheny Commons East Park, East Ohio Street & Cedar Avenue. The setting for our Farmers Market couldn’t be better: under a canopy of trees in East Commons Park along Cedar Avenue. During the peak summer months and into the fall you’ll find hundreds of neighbors shopping among dozens of booths. Expect at least a dozen friendly farmers with lush displays of fresh, locally grown produce, even flowers. In addition, you’ll find Amish-made cheeses and breads, freshly prepared foods, and other vendors offering samples of their tasty jams and salsas. Our Farmers Market is a part of Citiparks. |

PumpkinfestOctober of each year Pumpkinfest is the largest children’s fall festival in the City of Pittsburgh, and it’s right in our very own backyard! Each year, East Allegheny Community Council puts together an afternoon of fall fun for neighborhood children and their families to enjoy. For almost 30 years, we’ve partnered with Citiparks, Allegheny General Hospital, Allegheny Center Alliance Church and many other community organizations to offer an unforgettable day of hay rides, games, pumpkin decorating, rides and more. In 2018, we had more than 5,000 kids and adults in attendance, welcomed more than 25 community organizations, businesses and service providers, and distributed hundreds of pounds of candy!
