showing their wares. There will also be
craft activities for the kids!
Plus a Ms. PizzaBurgh contest, Dough Throwers, and the People’s
Choice "Best Pizza".
Second Shift Crafters, founded in 2014, believes that
everyone - not just those who earn their living from their hobbies and crafts -
deserves a space to exhibit their goods to the public. Born of the hustling
mindset, Second Shift Crafters pledges to keep their vendors as local as
possible, with an emphasis on those who hold day jobs and create art in their
spare time. In addition to local art and crafts, Second Shift Crafters partners
with and supports Pittsburgh-based community organizations, mobile food and
treats, independent breweries, and craft spirit companies. No matter what your
day job, Second Shift Crafters is there for you. We don’t profit from our events, we are just
here to organize fun, and create partner networks!
Steel City Pizzafest is run by local promoter and dynamo
Michael Devine, otherwise known as DJ Zombo, it is Pittsburgh’s first free to
the public Music and Pizza Festival.
It’s a great way to promote some of the best local Pizzas in town. So, Pizzafest is similar to a Rib Burn off…
but with Pizza. And EVERYBODY loves
pizza!
