Street Stages Bring Outdoor Performances To Squirrel Hill

"Street Stages" performances will be held each Friday and Saturday night for two hours, beginning at 6:30p.m.

 

Street Stages, a new project from City Council Members Dan Gilman and Corey O’Connoralong with representatives from NextGen: Pghand Shift Collaborative’s BuskerStreet Union, is a designated space for street performers in Squirrel Hill. The collaborative space is being billed as a “third place” between work and home where friends and neighbors can gather.
