Five Ways to Have Festive Fun in Pittsburgh

by | Dec 23, 2018 | Holiday, Pittsburgh

The holidays are the best excuse to get out and do things that you don’t always do. It’s a great excuse to spend time with friends, dress up, and cheese on life! This winter I am spending the days leading up to Christmas with my friends and family in Pittsburgh. I’ve made a short list of five things I don’t want to miss!

1.Bob’s Garage – is a Pittsburgh staple. It’s a dive bar in Blawnox, a suburb of the city. Around Christmas the bar is fully decked with decor and lights. It’s so much fun, involves karaoke, and all types of tacky!

2. Phipps Botanical Garden– has an amazing holiday showcase. If you go at night you will get to see everything all lit up.

3. PPG Plaza Ice Rink– You can bring your own skates or rent. It’s a beautiful outdoor rink in Market square. Stop by and skate, have some local foods, and grab some coffee.

4. See a show. Some options include: Elf, The Trans Siberian Orchestra, The Nutcracker

5.Gingerbread Houses and International Santas- There are hundreds are Gingerbread houses submitted to this showcase, in fact you can submit one too! It’s a great way to see the whole Pittsburgh community together. Mixed in are international Santas, with a small description of their history and culture!
