Weekend Planner: A weekend of outdoor fun
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - We've made it to Friday and September!
With that, we want to help plan your weekend and there are plenty of fun ways you can start the month off right and outdoors.
We'll start in downtown Pittsburgh with the annual soul food festival known as "A Soulful Taste of the Burgh."
Over the next three days, Market Square will play host to more than 70 small business vendors and you'll be able to taste great southern and ethnic cuisine.
There is the annual barbecue contest, live performances, and cultural and craft activities.
