Make some Friends at the Friendship Flower & Folk Festival

Lindsay

So Friendship is this great neighborhood that doesn’t get enough love in Pittsburgh. I don’t know a ton about Friendship, it is located between Bloomfield and East Liberty. It is a neighborhood filled with big old historic houses and all kinds of great people. I do know that I just really like the people that I know that live in Friendship.

This Saturday, May 10 is the Friendship Flower and Folk Festival. The festival will be held in the Baum Grove Park which is a great little parklet just behind Day Automotive on Baum Blvd. The Flower sale benefits the upkeep of the park. There is Folk Music to listen to and I am sure there will be great people to meet.

On Saturday, May 10th the birds will be singing, the flowers blooming and your neighbors will be swinging at the annual Friendship Flower and Folk Festival! The event this year promises to be as good as ever with folk music, fresh flowers and good times! Jam to folk music featuring acoustic, folk, and bluegrass music from many of the best local performers! Get your garden started and purchase beautiful, locally-grown plants, heirloom vegetables and special Mother’s Day Baskets. All proceeds benefit the maintenance of Baum Grove. Enjoy all day long events sponsored by Friendship Preservation Group including delicious grilled food, the ever-popular book sale, and an awesome raffle. Live demonstrations by the Animal Rescue League, Health Works, PA and Urban Farming Initiative.

Not to be Missed! - Bach Choir of Pittsburgh presents ‘The Promise of Freedom’

Beverly

Bach Choir of Pittsburgh, under the baton of Artistic Director Thomas Wesley Douglas, continues its 74th season with a not to be missed concert that examines the power of oppression and focuses on ‘The Promise of Freedom’. The concert features the Ambridge Area High School Steel Drum Band, Todd Hartman, Director. Throughout history, music has emerged from those in servitude and slavery. The traditional spiritual, music from concentration camps, even the reggae of Bob Marley, all combine to form a body of musical literature that speaks from the heart and soul of the oppressed. The Choir presents a concert of music that finds hope in the sorrow of servile circumstance.

Saturday, May 10, 8:00 pm
Sunday, May 11, 4:00 pm
East Liberty Presbyterian Church - 116 S. Highland Ave.
