Free Summer Concert Series
Allegheny RiverTrail Park is turning up the volume this summer with the return of its Free Summer Concert Series, sponsored by The Short Family! Now in its sixth season and better than ever, the series features nationally rising artists, some of Pittsburgh’s favorite bands, a waterfront stage, expanded food and drink options, and unbeatable views… for FREE!
Concerts take place on the second Friday of each month from June to September. Come as early as 5pm to grab a spot on the lawn, a beer from Trace Brewing, and food from various alternating food truck options. The shows begin at 7 PM!
Bring your own chairs or picnic blanket and grab a spot on the river’s edge, on the lawn, or perched atop Eagles Watch – a favorite lookout for park visitors offering unmatched views of the river and the entire park.
Boaters are also encouraged to float on the Allegheny River and enjoy the music from the water! We’ll have speakers specially facing the river for a super cool experience for all. See you there!

2026 Summer Concert Series Line-Up
June 12 – Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams
Together since 1986, the duo have built a partnership rooted as deeply in music as in devotion. Larry, a multi-instrumentalist with a rising reputation, and Teresa, a Tennessee-born vocalist and actress, met in Manhattan and felt an immediate, undeniable connection. From early days trading songs and harmonies to performing alongside legends and each other, their shared musical language became the foundation of something enduring. Their fourth album, All This Time, reflects both their artistic evolution and the resilience of their bond. With songs that celebrate joy, vulnerability, and commitment, Larry and Teresa offer more than music; they tell the story of a love that has grown stronger with time.
July 10 – Norside City Council feat. The BGVs and Steeltown Horns
Norside has rapidly established themselves as one of the most thrilling new acts on today’s instrumental groove scene. Anchored by a deep-pocket rhythm section and fearless improvisation, this organ trio brings a raw, no-frills energy that feels both timeless and unmistakably of the moment. Norside’s identity isn’t revivalist, it’s lived-in. Their “Rust Belt Sound” carries the weight of factory towns, corner bars, and long winters, channeling the same working-class intensity that shaped cities across America’s industrial heartland. There’s a toughness to their grooves, a refusal to polish away the grit.
