Jazz at the Cascades
South Park Cascades, 1 Stone Manse Drive, South Park, PA, USStep into the rhythm of summer evenings with enchanting performances by Jazzmania Live! Set at the relaxing and stunning South Park Cascades, jazz concerts take place (usually twice per month during the summer) on Sunday evenings from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
The theme for the August 16 jazz concert is August Moon Jazz with a late-summer open stage evening at the waterfalls. The August moon hangs lower and softer than midsummer, the days are still long but tipping toward fall, and musicians gather to create spontaneous musical moments in this collaborative jazz experience.
Visitors are encouraged to bring portable chairs, blankets, and snacks.
While these jazz concerts are free, donations are accepted.
For those not familiar with the area, South Park Cascades is located next to the historic Oliver Miller Homestead (which is open every Sunday from 1:30 – 4:30 PM) and less than a mile from South Park Ice Rink and Flora Park Creamery where visitors can enjoy 24 flavors of ice cream from Penn State Creamery and Chocolate Shoppe from Madison, WI. Please note that Flora Park Creamery is open Tuesday-Sunday: 12 pm-9 pm and
Monday: 4:30 pm-9 pmPlease note Jazz at the Cascades concerts are weather-permitting and in the event of inclement weather, please check the Allegheny County Parks Facebook page for updates.
Check out this South Park Cascades video. Built in 1930, the historic South Park Cascades were a manmade water feature using stratified rock quarried from the park itself. The brainchild of Paul B. Riis, the famed Swiss-born landscape architect, the Cascades were carefully composed to evoke a network of waterfalls and stone pools. Along with the cascading waterfalls, the large pools act as a water feature at which the public can soak up the sights and sounds of the park’s natural heritage and immerse themselves in nature. There are also nearby hiking trails.

Shadyside Arts Festival (during August 22-23)
Walnut Street in Shadyside, Walnut Street, Pittsburgh, PA, US29th Annual Shadyside Arts Festival on Walnut Street August 22nd & 23rd, 2026
Saturday 10am - 5pm & Sunday 10am - 5pm
Free Admission!
This is a great opportunity to spend a weekend afternoon in a relaxing atmosphere at one of our region's signature festivals. We'll walk around a bit while checking out booths featuring local artists and artists from around the country working in a wide range of different mediums, such as painting, sculpture, etc.
This is also a chance to visit various Shadyside boutiques, shops, and galleries mingled with national retailers in a neighborhood of tree-lined streets, historic homes, and distinctive restaurants.
There is also plenty of time to take breaks for coffee/tea, ice cream, cool drinks, and perhaps even lunch or dinner.
The Shadyside Arts Festival includes over 140 artists/activities along Walnut Street -- centered primarily between the intersections with S. Aiken and Ivy. What started out as a neighborhood street fair, is now regarded as one of the top shows in our region.
MEETUP Considerations
- While this is a general posting for the 2 Day Festival, people could be arriving or leaving on Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Saturday night, Sunday morning, or Sunday afternoon.
- At any given time during the Shadyside Arts Festival, there could be anywhere from 0-20 people from Meetup dispersed among many hundreds of arts enthusiasts, festival vendors/donors, Shadyside residents, general public, etc.
- Please be mindful that most people are simply happy enough to say hi to whoever they already know -- and happen to run into -- as they walk around the festival.
- As always, it is fine if people prefer to check out the festival on their own with family/friends or in smaller groups.
- It is not realistic to post comments asking where other people in the group are and expecting a timely response. Many people are there to enjoy the festival without feeling the need to constantly check their cell phones.
- Please be mindful that whenever gathering times/locations are provided for Meetup events, there is always a tradeoff as to how long people that show up 'on time' should be expected to 'wait around' for others that may or may not show up at a given time.
Parking
While there is a Pittsburgh Parking Authority garage in Shadyside that charges fairly reasonable rates ($3-$12 depending on how long one stays), the garage may be busy and thus, people may try street parking since there are many side streets in Shadyside. But if you want to try swinging by the garage, it is located at 714 Bellefonte Street or call 412-683-9017.There is also public transportation with stops within 2 blocks of the festival (64, 71B, 71D, 75) and 3-5 blocks of the festival (P1, 71A, 71C, 82, 86)
Stay tuned for updates!
