After months of anticipation, thousands of Pittsburghers streamed into the David L. Lawrence Convention Center yesterday to sample the sights and sounds of the All-Star FanFest. Post-Gazette sports reporter Dan Gigler recaps the highlights.

FanFest is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., except Tuesday, when it closes at 7 p.m. Ticket purchasers must select an admission time so the attractions will not be overcrowded at any one time, but once inside visitors can stay until closing.

Tickets may be obtained at www.pirates.com, www.mlb.com at the PNC Park box office, or by calling 1-888-326-3378. Prices range from $15 for children 12 and under, senior citizens and military personnel to $20 for all other adults.
