Category: Announcements || By Submitted Report


Pittsburgh food trucks will help kick-off the third season of the Sunday Heritage Market at the Historic Pump House & Water Tower, 880 E. Waterfront Drive, Munhall.

Located at the trailhead of the Great Allegheny Passage, Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area is sponsoring the bi-weekly market every first and third Sunday through September from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The market opens April 7.

Now in its third year, the vendor market, which is free and open to the public, is part of the ongoing effort of Rivers of Steel to promote the cultural heritage of Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Besides the Pittsburgh Taco Truck, Oh My Grill and the Pittsburgh Dessert Truck, vendors for the April 7 market include Dragon Lady Tie-Dyes, Karen's Kind Beads, the Bulgarian-Macedonian National Educational and Cultural Center; Brown Bird Green String; Divine Scentsations; Missy Steele Pottery; Robin Londino's Handcrafted Jewelry; Third Day Luxury Soaps and Rise Above Bakery.

The historic pump house is located near Lowe's in The Waterfront shopping complex and next to the Great Allegheny Passage hiking-biking trail. The historic site is also the location of a battle during the 1892 strike against Andrew Carnegie's Homestead Steel Works.

Cyclists are welcome to park in the pump house lot facing the road or by the water tower, where restrooms are available.

Plans are also in the works for a special "Great Allegheny Passage" opening weekend June 15 and 16, with the market open both days in collaboration with other activities planned along the trail, a spokeswoman said.

The market is held in conjunction with the National Park Service and the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
