This award-winning festival is completely free to attend and will take place on the iconic Sister Bridges, Allegheny Landing, Ford Duquesne Boulevard, PPG Plaza, Market Square, 6th Street, and Heinz Hall Garden. Large crowds and limited parking shouldn&rsquo;t deter you from this iconic celebration - PRT trains and buses offer stress-free and reliable travel. Similarly, the <a href=\"https://www.northsidemusicfestival.com/\">Deutschtown Music Festival </a>on the North Side and <a href=\"https://barrelandflow.com/tickets/\">Barrel And Flow Fest</a> at the Stacks at 3 Crossings in the Strip District are excellent opportunities to explore Pittsburgh&rsquo;s historic neighborhoods via public transportation, with multiple bus routes providing direct access to the celebrations. </p><p>To make the most of your Pittsburgh summer, let PRT be your travel companion.
