Pittonkatonk 2026
Free outdoor brass and global music festival in Schenley Park.
Pittonkatonk returns in 2026 for a two-day celebration of brass bands, global street music, and community-powered performance in Pittsburgh.
Held at the Vietnam Veterans Pavilion in Schenley Park, Pittonkatonk brings together local and touring artists for a vibrant mix of second line traditions, Balkan brass, funk, jazz, and experimental street music. Expect parades weaving through the park, high-energy live sets, and spontaneous collaborations that blur the line between performers and audience.
Rooted in accessibility and participation, the festival is free and open to all, encouraging movement, dancing, and collective celebration. Pittonkatonk highlights the power of public music-making and fosters a welcoming environment for all ages and backgrounds.
Support for the festival is community-driven, with fundraising efforts helping to bring in artists and sustain the event.
