SUMMARY:10 Things to Actually Do in Steel Valley This Summer!
DESCRIPTION:10 Things to Actually Do in Steel Valley This Summer!\n \nSummer is one of the best times to explore everything the Steel Valley has to offer. Whether you’re a longtime resident\, a newcomer to the area\, or someone looking for things to do near Pittsburgh\, Homestead\, Munhall\, and West Homestead are filled with unique experiences\, local events\, outdoor recreation\, arts\, entertainment\, and community celebrations. \nTo help you plan your summer\, we’ve put together ten great ways to experience the Steel Valley. \n1. Walk\, Run or Bike the GAP Trail\n \nThe Great Allegheny Passage (GAP Trail) is one of the region’s greatest outdoor assets. Stretching from Pittsburgh to Cumberland\, Maryland\, the trail passes directly through the Steel Valley and offers beautiful river views\, historic landmarks\, and easy access to local businesses\, restaurants\, and attractions. \nWhether you’re walking\, jogging\, biking\, or simply enjoying the scenery\, the GAP Trail is a perfect way to experience the community. \n2. Explore & Experience History\n \nFew communities can tell the story of American industry like the Steel Valley.  \nVisit Rivers of Steel destinations including the historic Pump House and Carrie Blast Furnaces. Take a guided tour\, attend a workshop\, explore industrial art experiences\, or learn how steelmaking helped shape not only our region but the nation itself. \nThese sites continue to attract visitors from around the world while preserving the area’s remarkable history. \n3. Celebrate 125 Years of Munhall & West Homestead Boroughs\n \nBoth Munhall and West Homestead are celebrating their 125th anniversaries in 2026. \nThroughout the summer\, residents and visitors can participate in special events\, celebrations\, historical programs\, and community gatherings honoring the people\, neighborhoods\, and businesses that helped build these communities. \nMunhall celebrates on June 13\, while West Homestead’s anniversary festivities take place August 13–15. \n4. Catch a Show on a Local Stage\n \nThe Steel Valley has become home to an impressive collection of entertainment venues and performance spaces. \nCatch local performers at The Glitterbox Theater and Forge Urban Winery\, or enjoy legendary bands\, musicians\, and entertainers at the historic Carnegie Library of Homestead Music Hall or nationally touring comedians and acts at the Pittsburgh Improv! \nNo matter your interests\, there is likely a show happening nearby. \n5. Discover Local Murals & Public Art\n \nThe Steel Valley has quietly become one of the most colorful outdoor galleries in the region. \nMurals\, public art installations\, painted walls\, and creative placemaking projects can be found throughout Homestead\, Munhall\, and West Homestead. Spend an afternoon exploring the neighborhoods and see how artists are helping tell the story of the community through public art. \n6. Spend a Night at Market Nights\n \nMunhall Market Nights have quickly become one of the area’s favorite summer traditions. \nFeaturing food trucks\, local vendors\, live entertainment\, community organizations\, and family activities\, these gatherings bring hundreds of people together throughout the summer. \nUpcoming dates include June 26\, July 24\, and August 28. \n7. Experience Arts & Education\n \nSummer is a great time to learn something new. \nTake a class\, attend a workshop\, visit a library program\, participate in a community event\, or experience educational programming offered by organizations such as the Carnegie Library of Homestead\, Best of the Batch Foundation\, Dragon’s Den\, Eberle Studios\, B is for Books\, and many others throughout the Steel Valley. \n8. Celebrate with Community\n \nCommunity events remain at the heart of the Steel Valley experience. \nFrom the Knights Barbershop Block Party and Homestead Community Day to neighborhood fundraisers\, concerts\, races\, festivals\, and community celebrations\, summer is when residents come together to celebrate what makes these communities special. \n9. Explore Our Parks & Green Spaces\n \nThe Steel Valley offers more green space than many people realize. \nNeighborhood parks\, playgrounds\, athletic fields\, walking paths\, and riverfront areas provide opportunities to relax\, exercise\, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re spending time with family\, walking the dog\, or attending a community event\, local parks remain an important part of summer life. \n10.

In 1988\, a group of citizens got together\, united by their concerns that with destruction of the shuttered mills an important part of our region’s culture was in danger of being erased\, too. \nThe prevailing sentiment at the time was not one of reverence for the industry; rather\, it was a stew of mixed emotions—anger for the way things went down\, loss of identity in the face of joblessness\, and fear of an uncertain future. The emotional landscape was too raw for most folks to want to celebrate what the steel industry once was\, especially when it was painfully obvious that this ‘industrial downturn’ reflected permanent change. \nLong story short: those citizens organized as a task force. Four years later\, the nonprofit organization that was to become Rivers of Steel was established to carry the torch of Big Steel and its related industries—not simply telling the companies’ stories and the products they made\, but the stories of the men and women who worked there. \nIt is a legacy was too important not to save. Relics and remnants were captured\, so were oral histories. The scope of which grew beyond the workers themselves\, encompassing the neighborhoods they represented—their languages\, their churches\, their traditions and recipes—and sowed the seeds of what was to become Rivers of Steel’s archival\, cultural conservation and exhibition programs. \n\n\nRivers of Steel: A nonprofit\, but also a place\nCreated by Congress in 1996\, the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area celebrates the region’s industrial history\, the landscape that fueled it\, and the hardworking men and women who made it possible\, linking its communities through their shared cultural and industrial heritage.
