There’s more to Sohn Orthodontics than creating new smiles for our patients. We love our Bridgeville and greater Pittsburgh communities dearly—and we want to take some time today to discuss local festivals that make it such a special place for our patients and their families. You won’t want to miss these!

Picklesburgh
One of our metropolitan area’s more eccentric celebrations draws quite a crowd each year.

Don’t miss this event’s ten-year anniversary this summer!
Annual Shadyside Art Festival
On August 23rd and 24th, thousands of people will gather again on scenic Walnut Street to view incredible fine art from all over the country. In between browsing, you can also visit some of the many local boutiques, restaurants, and bars.
Little Italy Days
This August festival, which kicks off on August 14th, 2025, is a tribute to 2002 in the amazing community of Bloomfield—aka our beloved Little Italy. It features authentic Italian feasts, local vendors and musicians, and more. The celebration is fun for the whole family and has a distinctly Italian flair.
“Taste of Greece” Greek Festival
Held on Labor Day weekend annually by Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, this festival is a great time to experience the rich tapestry of Greek culture. From cultural and religious vendors to song and dance to incredible homemade Greek cuisine, it’s become a well-loved tradition of many locals.
Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival
This event from September 18th-24th creates a jazz club out of downtown and gives you the opportunity to hear performances by legendary jazz artists like Ron Carter Foursight, Ledisi, and Stanley Clarke N 4Ever. The event kicks off with a delicious Taste of Jazz Party, where attendees can enjoy gourmet samplings alongside world-class music. Don’t miss this celebration of jazz heritage and culture!
Hickory Apple Festival
We’re lucky to live in an apple-growing region of the country. In Hickory, PA, you can experience a tight-knit community’s celebration of live entertainment, homemade apple goods, and amazing craft vendors.
