Call for Performing Artists:

The Craftsmen's Guild of Pittsburgh and A Fair in the Park is currently scheduling entertainment for the 2008 A Fair in the Park, to be held the weekend of September 5, 6, and 7th.

A Fair in the Park is "an opportunity for the whole family to be creatively involved with recognized local and national" artists of all mediums. Partnered with Pittsburgh's WYEP (91.3fm), A Fair in the Park has continued to present the best in regional and national performing arts over the years. We strive to present an unique array of ethnic, cultural, creative and contemporary performances.

During the fair, WYEP hosts a "WYEP Concert Weekend" in which performing artists, singers and song-writers, bands, and entertainers such as Liz Berlin, Kelsey Barber, Common Threads, Ploughman's Lunch, Billy Price, and Mark Digham have performed in past years.

A Fair in the Park has a covered stage which is set up parallel to the wall behind the fountain in Mellon Park. The sound system is provided by the Entertainment Coordinator, George Harris of Kirk Enterprises.
