Ah, August. Even coming out of the long dark tunnel of winter, we Pittsburghers know just want to expect when summer rolls around. Hot and humid days best spent in the pool and lounging in the A/C. And, of course, indulging in summer’s favorite treat: Ice cream. Ice cream on its own is pretty satisfying. Add ice cream and music, however, and what do you get? The most amazing music and ice cream festival in Pittsburgh this summer.
Add another spectacular summer event to your calendar. DreamOnFest will take over Market Square this August for two days of ice cream and music.
Enjoy two days of music from local artists and ice cream from local vendors. But, the DreamOnFest is about far more than ice cream and top notch entertainment.
Local students play a significant role in the planning of the city's biggest ice cream festival. Hosted by Omicelo Cares, the festival offers students in its Experiential Business Education Program the chance to execute a major city event.
Of course, you'll find plenty of other family-friendly activities. Get your face painted (it's not just for kids, you know!). Pick up a hula hoop and have a twirl. Or, dance with fellow Pittsburghers to the live music on stage.
