Balkan Brass, Cumbia, Live Hip-Hop, Activist Big Bands, Afro-Futurism, Social Justice Organizers: a one of a kind musical festival, free and open to all, connecting the dots between community, organizers, and euphoric musical experiences.

An all ages community event featuring bands from across the globe.
On May 13, 2023 Pittonkatonk will celebrate our 10th annual event. Pittonkatonk is excited to return for the 10th annual event featuring a full day of music and food including local, national, and international performers from Burkina Faso, Congo, Ukraine, and beyond. Pittonkatonk started as a branch of the Honk festivals welcoming mobile marching bands from across the country. Over the last ten years we have expanded our vision of the festival to include more international performers with the hopes of establishing a free and inclusive world music festival in Pittsburgh.

As always Pittonk does not announce the set times of performers but we do encourage our audience to come for the experience of the day.

Highlights for this years event include
Balaklava Blues (Ukrainian/Canadian activists)
Baba Commandant and the Mandingo Band (Burkina Faso)
Kizaba (Congo/Canada)
Tamikrest (Morocco/France)
Undertow Brass Band (formerly What Cheer? Brigade)
Detroit Party Marching Band
