The McKees Rocks food and arts festival “FEASTival” is returning to the neighborhood on Saturday, August 26 for the fourth year in a row.
This festival began in 2013 as a way to bring the community together, and show off all the redevelopment happening in the area. Now know as a destination arts and cultural festival, food is another central highlight of the event. When the festival started, Pittsburgh food trucks were very restricted on where they could park, and the FEASTival provided an opportunity for these businesses share their grub.
In 2017, the festival has expanded to showcase art and music in addition to food. Those involved promise “beer. grub. tunes. and a whole lotta art.”
A talented music lineup will be part of the event, and Colorado jam band “Leftover Salmon” will headline the event. Other musical acts include the Pittsburgh Jamband “the CAUSE.”
The food trucks for the event include:
- Miss Meatball
- Pgh Halal Food
- Pgh Crepes
- Le’s Oriental
- Happy Camper Cakes
- Rogue BBQ LLC
- Rolling Cones
- Stickler’s Ice Pop Co.
- Pittsburgh Sandwich Society
- Chop Shop Salad Shop
- Chameleon Concessions
- Revival Chili
- Carneval Truck
- BRGR
- The Coop Chicken & Waffles
Style Trucks like “the Vintage Valet” will also be on site.
The FEASTival is presented by the McKees Rocks Community Development Corporation, and is a family-friendly event.
The event is free with online general admission registration or $5 donation at the gate. 21+ VIP tickets, which includes private viewing and seating area, full-service cocktail bar, limited edition concert poster, limited VIP parking, private restroom trailer with AC, and drawings for prizes including a meeting and greet with Leftover Salmon are $75.
