Forge Fest: Community Block Party in Wilkinsburg

🔥 Forge Fest is BACK! 🔥

We love our community, which is why we’re transforming Franklin Ave into a big, free summer celebration! Consider this our love letter to Wilkinsburg… and you're invited to the party!

We're bringing the community together for an afternoon packed with family-friendly activities, including:

• Take a hard hat tour for a special sneak peek at our new social hall
• Free BBQ by the Community Forge team
• Tasty frozen treats by Beedle’s Ice Cream
• Music and line dancing with 412Step
• An inflatable planetarium by Moonshot Museum
• Learn to bounce with the pros at Xpogo
• Fix-it help and skill-sharing with Repair Café Pittsburgh
• Custom shirt design and board game building with BootUp
• Crafting with Cure Violence East
• Interactive games, face painting, bounce house, community resources and more!
