Polish Hill Arts Festival – July 8, 2012

If we were giving out awards for most beloved neighborhood in Pittsburgh – it might be Polish Hill.  This weekend – you can see why this neighborhood is so awesome, and the residents love it so much at the Polish Hill Arts Festival.

Blogski, the blog of the Polish Hill Civic Association has the complete run down of events, food and music here.

We’re loving this amazing poster for the festival by artist Andy Scott.

 

Thanks to Diana Nelson Jones for the reminder about this awesome event, she writes about all of the Pittsburgh neighborhoods at City Walkabout.
