Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival
Much like Oktoberfest, this weekend is your last chance to travel back in time to the 16th century as the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival wraps up.
You can enjoy all that the medieval era has to offer, including jousting and ye olde music.
There will also be the classic humongous turkey legs.
The fun gets going at 10:30 a.m. and ends at 6:30 p.m. at the fairgrounds in West Newton, and it goes until Sunday.
Washington Italian Festival
Downtown Washington will transform into Little Italy this weekend for the 9th annual Washington Italian Festival.
There you'll be able to enjoy authentic Italian food, music, crafts, and games.
It's happening at the community pavilion on Main Street on Saturday from noon until 8 p.m.
