Calling all Vendors, Volunteers and Neighborhood Organizations!
We are currently looking for vendors of various flea and retail goods, as well as volunteers for help setting up, supporting the event, and cleaning up. Local businesses and organizations wishing to set up a table are also encouraged to do so. Email troyhillpittsburgh@gmail.com with subject “Pigtoberfest 2019 Participation.”
Overview
Pigtoberfest is a Troy Hill community festival filled with good food, great people (your neighbors!) and fun activities. Its name is a reference to the history of Rialto St., which was used for transporting pigs between stockyards and slaughterhouses located in Spring Hill and Herrs Island (Washington’s Landing).
Event Date and Time
The event will be held on October 12th from 2 to 6 pm in beautiful Troy Hill Citizens Park. The event is held rain or shine.
Bake-Off

Treats can be sweet or savory and will be judged by a panel of neighbors. Prizes will be awarded for first place in each category. All baked goods must arrive by 3 pm; judging will take place at 3 pm. Pumpkin Carving Contest Bring your best carving skills and put them to the test! Free to all participants!
