We've already had a taste of summer weather.
Now here comes the real stuff: concerts in the park, fireworks, outdoor theater, and festivals with kettle corn and fried Oreos.
Hope this roundup of special Summer Times reports gives you lots of ideas for hot days and nights:
Check out at the bands scheduled to headline the region's major venues, including North Side newcomer Stage AE's second season featuring some 40 acts.
After your days in the sun, take your seat as the curtain goes up on a summer of plays and musicals from Broadway hits to fresh works and new visions.
There's more to the Pittsburgh Symphony's season, including a few special guests at Heinz Hall, but that's just the beginning of a rich regional lineup.
From Impressionism and Paris to Pittsburgh and industry; from American modernists to Australian glass -- the major shows you won't want to miss this summer:
Grab some Texture. Learn some newMoves. Go idiosynCrazy with dance this summer as the local scene explodes.
The summer's schedule of big movies has already started off with a big bang thanks to the blockbuster release of "The Avengers" ... but the season is just getting started.
There are festivals for boats, beer, battles, blues, bluegrass and things that don't start with B, such as kids, cars, sheep, antiques and gardening. A little something for everyone.
You'll have to stay on the move between Memorial Day and Labor Day this season to catch all the special events and exhibits set to open across the region's museums, amusement parks, galleries and, of course, the zoo!
Some of the best things about summer living don't cost a dime, including sunny skies, cool evenings and this kaleidoscope of entertainment at venues near you.
Enjoy some your favorites under the stars at Dollar Bank Cinema in the Park screenings throughout the season.
