The 2nd Annual Pittsburgh Pierogi Fest to Feature Over 20 Local Pierogi Vendors

The 2nd Annual Pittsburgh Pierogi Fest, presented by Mrs. T’s Pierogies, will take place at Stage AE on Pittsburgh’s North Shore on October 18th from Noon to 5 pm. Tickets are $12.50 and children 12 and under will be admitted free.

The event will feature live music, over twenty local restaurants and purveyors serving pierogies and pierogi-inspired dishes, a pop-up pierogi marketplace and family friendly activities. Vendors will be preparing traditional and non-traditional pierogi dishes.

Traditional offerings can be expected from Penn Brewery, S&D Polish Deli, The Pittsburgh Pierogi Truck, Gosia’s, Ohio City Pasta and Harris Grill. Several vendors are experimenting with varieties, like last year’s first and second place People’s Choice Award winners, Cop Out Pierogies and Braddock’s American Brasserie.

Guests can wash it all down with the official Pittsburgh Pierogi Fest Beverage Turner Iced Tea or the Pittsburgh Pierogi Fest’s Official Beer, Yuengling.

A portion of proceeds from ticket and pierogi sales will benefit local non-profit Riverlife, which aims to create public spaces on Pittsburgh’s waterfronts.

“We were blown away by the enthusiastic community response at last year’s festival and look forward to welcoming pierogi lovers from around the region, who by attending help Riverlife in our mission to reclaim, restore and promote Pittsburgh’s riverfronts,” said Lisa Schroeder, Riverlife President and CEO.

The Pittsburgh Pierogi Fest is presented by Mrs. T’s Pierogies and is sponsored in part by; Turner Iced Tea (Official Beverage of the Festival), Yuengling (Official Beer of the Festival), Port Authority, Zero Fossil, Pittsburgh Chiropractic Associates Plus, People’s Gas, Shutterbooth, Yelp, Farm to Table Pittsburgh/American Healthcare Group, and The Pittsburgh Public Market.
