Deutschtown Music Festival Presents: "Hands Over Deutschtown" - a Mini-Fest.
Earlier this year we here at Deutschtown Music Festival made the difficult decision to once again not present our full-blown festival this year. There were many factors that went into this decision, but we felt and still feel it was in the best interest of all involved. We are however extremely excited to present a new event: "Hands Over Deutschtown".
This smaller event will feature the premiere production from post-industrial performance artists Squonk entitled, "Hand to Hand" for two shows at 2 pm and 4 pm in Allegheny Commons Park near Sue Murray Pool on the future site of the permanent Skyline Stage.
To complement Squonk's debut performance in 2019, we will have a number of other performances there on the lawn and the concrete stage across from the Allegheny Elks Lodge on Cedar Ave. Additionally, there will be an artists and vendors market with a busker's stage in the park above the Hampton Battery to East Ohio St. presented by RedFishBowl.
In the Northeastern part of the park, we will be our usual Park stage with a beautifully diverse full-day lineup of amazing Pittsburgh musicians and bands.
There will be community outreach from sponsors, Highmark/AHN, and First National Bank focusing on Health with partner AGH and financial literacy and other programs with the bank. We will have professionals onsite from Highmark, Allegheny Health Network, Allegheny General Hospital, and North Side Christian Health Center to give info. Better yet, we will have the J & J vaccine and the Pfizer onsite being administered right in the park that day. They will also be scheduling vaccines at AGH with enough time to get your child between 12-18 vaccinated before the fall semester.
Reading is FUNdamental will be donating books for children. There will be food trucks, family-friendly activities, Non-profits, and other organizations with programs for families and children to sign up for, and as always with us, SURPRISES.
Lastly, we are super excited for the future. There are many many great things in the works over here in the Northside. Consider yourself warned!
