Pittsburgh sure does know how to host amazing summer events – The Three Rivers Arts Festival, The Fourth of July Celebration, and Picklesburgh, to name just a few. But, the small towns around Pittsburgh also know a thing or to about putting on a spectacular summer festival. If you’re up for the 45 minute drive to this small town near Pittsburgh, you’re in for an unforgettable experience at this beloved summerfest.
The Westmoreland Arts and Heritage Festival returns to Twin Lakes Park in Greensburg for its 44th season from July 5-8, 2018.
Nestled among the park's trees, the summerfest promises plenty to do for visitors of all ages. Browse the Artist Market, for example, that's brimming with art from more than 200 vendors.
Watch artists as they perform their craft for visitors. And, visit the FestivalCon, an exhibit of popular cartoon and comic art. (You never know what superheroes you might run into, too.)
So, start planning your visit (or visits!) to this spectacular summerfest. The Westmoreland Arts & Heritage Festival runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Spend a leisurely day at the Westmoreland Arts and Heritage Festival, held in this charming, small town near Pittsburgh. Of course, you’ll probably also want to check out some of the other spectacular festivals near the Burgh this summer, like Sharon Waterfire and DreamOn Ice Cream Festival.
