Community calendar

There are so many fun things to do this summer in Pittsburgh! If you’re curious about programs and events in the Northside, the chamber’s community calendar is a great place to look!

By the first of each month, the chamber collects all the Northside events that we know about and enters them into the community calendar that is available on our website, northsidechamberofcommerce.com/events/community-calendar.
