A Three Rivers Arts Festival Food Lover's Guide

PITTSBURGH, PA - It’s the dirty little secret that no one once to discuss about the Three Rivers Arts Festival: Not everyone goes there to see the Umbrella Sky Project or buy a hand-crafted ceramic vase.

Some people go primarily for the food. Some people won’t stray far from the festival’s two food courts in Point State Park near the Dollar Bank Stage and in Gateway Center just off Penn Avenue extension.

For people who attend mostly to indulge in some funnel cake, tabbouleh or lobster burgers, a vital question has gone unanswered regarding the arts festival, which runs June 2-11: What food trucks will be on hand for the event’s two weekends?

Don’t panic. At Patch, we’re here to help. Here’s the official festival food truck schedule. Bon appetit and at least try to browse through some of the wheel-thrown, highly burnished, unglazed stoneware forms for sale at the festival.
