The changes that are being made to the festival are being described as âtemporary adjustments.â
The virtual offerings, which will be available at TrustArts.org/TRAF and via select Pittsburgh Cultural Trust social media channels, will incorporate innovations from the first-ever virtual Festival in 2020, plus some new enhancements to be announced closer to the dates of the festival. All aspects of the festival, including any tentative in-person attractions, will also be available online.
The festivalâs in-person, limited-capacity events â all of which are subject to change â will be presented at indoor and outdoor locations in Pittsburghâs Cultural District. No events will take place in Point State Park and Gateway Center. In-person, limited-capacity events will remain free to attend, but will require advance registration and timed entry.

2019 THREE RIVERS ARTS FESTIVAL
Like a lot of things this year, the Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival will be a bit closer to normal, but far from what festivalgoers experienced in the pre-pandemic era.
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announced the 10-day festival, scheduled for June 4-13, will include food, live music and of course, plenty of art. But Point State Park and Gateway Center will not be filled with festivalgoers.
Arts Festival Director Sarah Aziz tells the Trib that gathering limits prevent the use of the Downtown locations where the festival is traditionally held because those areas can’t be fully gated to control the number of people.
PITTSBURGH The 2021 Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival will take place June 4-13 in Pittsburgh, as a hybrid of enhanced virtual events and in-person, limited-capacity attractions.

We hope our temporary adjustments to the festival format in 2021 will satisfy our fans’ deep desire to return to the Cultural District while also ensuring that we keep everyone as safe as possible,” Aziz said.
