SUMMARY:The Colby's with New Orlean's R&B at Golden Age Beer Co.
DESCRIPTION:The Colby’s with New Orlean’s R&B at Golden Age Beer Co.\n\nSaturday\, May 30\, 2026\n7:00 PM  10:00 PM\nGolden Age Beer Company337 East 8th AvenueHomestead\, PA\, 15120United States (map)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Colbys are a New Orleans-style\, piano-driven R&B band\, steeped in \nswing\, gospel and blues. Led by Grammy\, Emmy & Ace Award winner John Colby (Music Director ESPN\, ESPY’s\, NASCAR Awards) and Bev Rohlehr (Persuasions\, National Jazz Ensemble\, Mel Lewis Orchestra)\, The Colby’s are a high-energy\, no two nights ever the same musical experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe love lager.\n\n\n\n\nWe started Golden Age Beer Co. because we are passionate about making clean and crisp lagers that are eminently drinkable. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom crisp Northern German and fragrant Italian-style pilsners to luxurious dunkels and Franconian rauchbiers to the easy-drinking\, “lawnmower” American lager\, we believe that\, with their clean\, subtle and eminently-drinkable finesse\, lagers are the beers that bring people together\, that cross divides\, and that are both the past and the future of beer.  And so we brought a brewery that makes lager its primary focus to Pittsburgh and\, more particularly\, to Homestead.  Indeed\, we believe that to do anything else would be an injustice to this community’s hard-working\, steely heritage and resolve.  When this community rose up in 1892 to rebuff a barge full of armed Pinkertons\, it was fueled by Homestead-brewed lager\, while the very brewers who crafted that lager stood in solidarity with their steel-worker brethren on the banks of the Monongahela.  We hope that we can stand in solidarity with this community once more as it continues on its path to a new golden age. \nOur brewhouse is well-equipped to produce the finest lagers.  We are fortunate to brew on a state-of-the-art 15 barrel BrauKon brewing system.  Bavarian-made and designed to manufacture the world’s most precise beer styles\, this system provides our brewing team with the tools it needs to walk the tightrope to make perfect lager\, which is defined nearly as much by its absence of imperfections as it is by its pursuit of perfection.  In what feels like a meeting driven by fate itself\, we were fortunate to find a head brewer who is up to the challenge of working with a system that has a lofty reputation for precision and finesse. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Head Brewer Aaron Dahl\nHead Brewer Aaron Dahl joined Golden Age in 2021 to oversee the transition of the brew house and begin working on recipe development.  Aaron comes from Chicago’s Alarmist Brewing\, where he was the head brewer for six years prior to moving to Pittsburgh to head the Golden Age Beer team. In the past several years\, Aaron has earned three medals in the Great American Beer Festival:  in 2018\, the Gold Medal in the Hazy IPA category for “Le Jus;” in 2020\, the Bronze Medal for the Pale Ale category for “Pantsless Pale Ale;” and\, in 2021\, the Bronze Medal in the American Lager category for “Midwest Royalty.” He has dedicated his professional life to beer.  And while he can produce some of the best IPAs and Pale Ales in the country\, over the past several years\, his passion — like ours — has turned towards lagers\, and he is excited to run a brew house that is dedicated to and designed for the same passion. \nGolden Age Beer Co. is located in historic Homestead\, Pennsylvania\, just outside of Pittsburgh. Founded by the same people behind Pittsburgh’s beer bars the Independent Brewing Company and Lorelei\, Golden Age is dedicated to providing its community with an inclusive\, accepting\, safe and hospitable environment that focuses on people as much as it does great beer. \nWe are an equal opportunity employer that guarantees a living wage to everyone who works here. We welcome dogs and children.

SUMMARY:RC Workshop: 1/10 Scale R/C Comp CLASS (2.0 & 2.5) at The BattleGround Pittsburgh
DESCRIPTION:RC Workshop: 1/10 Scale R/C Comp CLASS (2.0 & 2.5) at The Battlerground Pittsburgh\n \nJoin us on Sunday\, May 31\, 2025\, starting at 10 AM at The BG for our FREE Class 2.0 and 2.25 1/10th Scale R/C Rock Crawling Competition!\nDuring the comp\, we will have six courses total—three for Class 2.0 and three separate courses for Class 2.25.\nDrivers can choose to enter Class 2 or Class 2.25. If you’ve won at The BG more than twice\, made the podium more than four times\, or are a sponsored driver\, you’ll automatically move up to Class 2.5. That means you can only compete in Class 2.5 comps\, not Class 2 or 2.25.\nClass 2 and 2.25 comps are for those newer to crawling\, are comfortable competing at this skill level\, and/or running more moderately built rigs.\nAll comps at The BG are now free! Rental trucks are available for anyone who needs one.\nAll ages welcome! For ages 12 & under\, reverses are free and don’t count against scoring.\n1/24th scale course will be open and available during all comps during the evening.\nCompetition Rules – 1/10 Scale\nGeneral Rules (Apply to All Classes):\n– 10 progress gates\, plus start and finish gates (all gates are 12” wide). Start and finish gates count as 10 points if struck.– 8-minute time period allowed per course for all 3 courses.– Tires must be under 4.85” and 2.2” max on wheel size (tires CAN be siped\, grooved\, or trimmed).– Cab-only trucks are allowed.– Dovetails are allowed (must be ½” from widest part of cab).– Rail chassis only (no tube frames).– Must have a front bumper. Can be mounted on a truck or molded into the body\, but must be wider than the frame rails.– Rear bumpers are NOT required.\nClass 2.0:\n– Body requirement: Cabs must be at least 4.25” from the top of the cab to the bottom of the door.– No team drivers allowed.\nClass 2.25:\n– Body requirement: MUST have at least cab only for a body.– No team drivers allowed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Car Dealership\n\n\n\n\nThe first priority was to get the building safe\, secure and weather-tight. With step one accomplished\, the team went to work on getting The BG field and facility up and running. Thanks to the long hours and dedication of his team\, they hauled off over 80\,000 pounds of debris and junk that had been stored in the building for decades. Between a master carpenter\, electrician\, block mason\, and a team of extremely dedicated employees\, they were able to pull off what most thought was an impossible task. \nThe owner believes in restoring buildings that have solid structure instead of tearing them down and losing their rich history. The Old Car Dealership was a perfect candidate after years of neglect. He hoped to bring life back to what once was a landmark building on the 8th Ave corridor. Since our opening in 2014\, new plans are still underway including the addition of an Intellectual Hobby Shop on the second floor mezzanine and two cafes on the first floor. The transformation will be complete with window repairs\, a new parking lot\, and new fencing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is The BG?\n\n\n\n\nThe BG facility is truly one of a kind.  It incorporates more than just Airsoft. We have expanded our facility to accommodate Airsoft\, NERF\, Gel Blasters\, Nerf Rivals\, GOTCHA Paintball Guns\, Bow Tag\, and slingshots. The owner wanted to incorporate several different activities into one facility. The BG offers private parties such as birthday parties\, corporate holiday parties\, team building events and more for any of the above activities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy?\n\n\n\n\nThe owner was looking for a place to bring his own two children after school or on the weekends where they could have fun and be active together in a safe environment.  While there are other facilities that provide some of these activities\, none of them are a one-stop-shop for fun.  The owner envisioned a place that he could go with his children regularly that would provide exercise\, fun\, and excitement\, all while teaching them teamwork\, honor\, and strategy.  That’s when the concept of “The BG” was born.

In the past several years\, Aaron has earned three medals in the Great American Beer Festival:  in 2018\, the Gold Medal in the Hazy IPA category for “Le Jus;” in 2020\, the Bronze Medal for the Pale Ale category for “Pantsless Pale Ale;” and\, in 2021\, the Bronze Medal in the American Lager category for “Midwest Royalty.” He has dedicated his professional life to beer.  And while he can produce some of the best IPAs and Pale Ales in the country\, over the past several years\, his passion — like ours — has turned towards lagers\, and he is excited to run a brew house that is dedicated to and designed for the same passion. \nGolden Age Beer Co. is located in historic Homestead\, Pennsylvania\, just outside of Pittsburgh. Founded by the same people behind Pittsburgh’s beer bars the Independent Brewing Company and Lorelei\, Golden Age is dedicated to providing its community with an inclusive\, accepting\, safe and hospitable environment that focuses on people as much as it does great beer. \nWe are an equal opportunity employer that guarantees a living wage to everyone who works here.

SUMMARY:3rd Place: The Cozy Collective at the Glitterbox Theater
DESCRIPTION:3rd Place: The Cozy Collective at the Glitterbox Theater \n \nThe Cozy Collective is a soft\, low-pressure social space where you can unwind\, connect\, and be yourself. \nThink: pillows\, blankets\, gentle lighting\, coloring books\, fidget toys\, and good humans. Some folks come to cuddle. Some come to sit quietly or journal. Some come to meet new people in a calm\, intentional way. However you show up\, you’re welcome here. \nNO TOUCH REQUIRED OR EXPECTED. \nWe open with a short circle to share community agreements and offer a few tools for navigating consent\, communication\, and comfort in shared space. From there\, the space is yours to explore—whether that means making a new friend\, holding hands\, dancing with headphones on\, or curling up solo in the “Solo Salon.” Touch is never required or expected. \nAll genders\, orientations\, relationship styles\, neurotypes\, and bodies are welcome. No prior experience needed. Come solo\, with a partner\, or with friends. This space is queer-affirming\, trauma-informed\, and sensory-friendly. \nWhat can I expect at this event? \nThe Cozy Collective creates an atmosphere similar to a cuddle social\, which is a space curated to create a safe atmosphere to connect with others. It starts with an opening circle and workshop in consent where you learn to feel into your own body and practice saying “Yes” and “No” without any expectations. We teach how to respond in a safe way to verbal and nonverbal communication and how to empower ourselves to be better at communicating with others\, including learning neutral body language. \nThen we move into an open practice\, where you can choose how you want to connect with others or with yourself! There will be many options for relaxation activities in a soft\, cushiony space. Feel free to relax in stillness\, move around the space\, or witness! Read into your body and do what feels right to you. \nSome ways you can connect in this space: \nEye gazing \nMirroring through hand movements \nTalking or listening to others and holding space \nJournaling\, drawing\, or listening to music \nCuddling with a stuffed animal \nSitting solo where no one will disturb you \nJoin the connection corner for help making connections \nHugging or leaning on someone’s shoulder \nPlaying with someone’s hair \nHand or shoulder massage \nLaying back to back \nJoining a train\, spoon line\, or bear den \nCome up with your own ideas! \nSchedule \n1:00 PM – Registration begins Note: Doors close at 1:30 PM. Please text Trisha at 814-969-9418 if you are running late. \n1:30 PM – Opening Circle Enjoy relaxation activities\, meditation\, communication exercises\, cuddle etiquette\, and our voluntary cuddle lab \n2:30 PM – Cuddle Social begins Grab a snack!

SUMMARY:3rd Place: The Cozy Collective at the Glitterbox Theater
DESCRIPTION:3rd Place: The Cozy Collective at the Glitterbox Theater \n \nThe Cozy Collective is a soft\, low-pressure social space where you can unwind\, connect\, and be yourself. \nThink: pillows\, blankets\, gentle lighting\, coloring books\, fidget toys\, and good humans. Some folks come to cuddle. Some come to sit quietly or journal. Some come to meet new people in a calm\, intentional way. However you show up\, you’re welcome here. \nNO TOUCH REQUIRED OR EXPECTED. \nWe open with a short circle to share community agreements and offer a few tools for navigating consent\, communication\, and comfort in shared space. From there\, the space is yours to explore—whether that means making a new friend\, holding hands\, dancing with headphones on\, or curling up solo in the “Solo Salon.” Touch is never required or expected. \nAll genders\, orientations\, relationship styles\, neurotypes\, and bodies are welcome. No prior experience needed. Come solo\, with a partner\, or with friends. This space is queer-affirming\, trauma-informed\, and sensory-friendly. \nWhat can I expect at this event? \nThe Cozy Collective creates an atmosphere similar to a cuddle social\, which is a space curated to create a safe atmosphere to connect with others. It starts with an opening circle and workshop in consent where you learn to feel into your own body and practice saying “Yes” and “No” without any expectations. We teach how to respond in a safe way to verbal and nonverbal communication and how to empower ourselves to be better at communicating with others\, including learning neutral body language. \nThen we move into an open practice\, where you can choose how you want to connect with others or with yourself! There will be many options for relaxation activities in a soft\, cushiony space. Feel free to relax in stillness\, move around the space\, or witness! Read into your body and do what feels right to you. \nSome ways you can connect in this space: \nEye gazing \nMirroring through hand movements \nTalking or listening to others and holding space \nJournaling\, drawing\, or listening to music \nCuddling with a stuffed animal \nSitting solo where no one will disturb you \nJoin the connection corner for help making connections \nHugging or leaning on someone’s shoulder \nPlaying with someone’s hair \nHand or shoulder massage \nLaying back to back \nJoining a train\, spoon line\, or bear den \nCome up with your own ideas! \nSchedule \n1:00 PM – Registration begins Note: Doors close at 1:30 PM. Please text Trisha at 814-969-9418 if you are running late. \n1:30 PM – Opening Circle Enjoy relaxation activities\, meditation\, communication exercises\, cuddle etiquette\, and our voluntary cuddle lab \n2:30 PM – Cuddle Social begins Grab a snack!

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.

DESCRIPTION:Robert Earl Keen: Then and Now at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall\nWednesday\, June 3rd\, 2026 \nDoors: 7:00PM / Show: 8:00PM \nCarnegie of Homestead Music Hall (Munhall\, PA) \n\n\n*All tickets subject to day of show price increase. Prices at the ticket link reflect the all-in ticket price (face value + fees) – minus any taxes / credit card processing fees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeating Chart (click to view)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCarnegie of Homestead Seat Map (click to expand)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilt in 1898\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was constructed by William Miller and Sons of Pittsburgh at a cost of $250\,000. The second of three libraries built here in the Mon Valley\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was built for use by the common man but adorned with grandeur and opulence fit for a royal family. The Carnegie Library of Homestead is the oldest Carnegie library in continuous operation in its original structure in the US\, and was chosen by CNN in 2014 as one of the 27 most fascinating libraries in the world to visit. Unique to other libraries\, it also is home to a full-service athletic facility and grand concert hall. \nAlso known as the Carnegie of Homestead\, its modern mission is to provide programs and facilities that enhance learning\, wellness and quality of life within and outside the Steel Valley. Today\, we serve over 17\,000 residents of Munhall\, Homestead\, West Homestead\, Whitaker\, and families in nearby communities such as West Mifflin\, Lincoln Place\, Hays\, Greenfield\, Squirrel Hill\, Duquesne and more. The Carnegie of Homestead uplifts and improves the lives of youth\, families and the elderly\, by serving as a community activities center for families and groups throughout the Mon Valley. \nThe Library holds 3\,000\,000 county-wide items in collection including books\, audiobooks\, DVDs\, CDs\, newspapers\, magazines and eResources. There are nearly 7\,000 cardholders (35% of our residents) and on average 733 people visit daily. 30 computers provide over 30\,000 online access sessions annually by the general public\, including disadvantaged individuals who cannot afford home computers and online services. The library holds over 1\,000 learning programs annually in which almost 20\,000 participate of all ages. On any given day\, a variety of activities are happening: toddler and children story time\, arts and crafts; science and art classes for homeschooled children; literacy outreach & book distribution to 30+ local preschools and daycare centers; homework assistance for teens equipped with computers and media; laptops and iPads with college-level computer programming\, and STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Arts\, Math) workshops including robotics in the Makerspace classroom; book clubs for teens through seniors\, knitting classes\, crafting workshops for adults\, and cultural programs such as Japanese or Russian language and psyanky egg decorating! \nThe Athletic Club hosts 1\,100 members who pay affordable fees to attend in Yoga\, Water Aerobics\, Spinning\, Tai Chi\, and Zumba classes in the fitness studios\, enjoy our heated indoor swimming pool\, gymnasium with a walking track\, and train for baseball/softball using our indoor batting cages. 200 youth participate in year-round sports lessons and 230 adults enjoy year-round basketball and volleyball leagues. 150 children and adults learned to swim\, participated in aquatics exercise and scuba instruction classes. 550 seniors are active members of our Silver Sneakers/Silver and Fit exercise classes geared to older adults. \nThe Music Hall seats 1\,045 guests in an intimate atmosphere that has changed very little from the original venue. In 2019\, 50\,000 patrons traveled from Western Pennsylvania and across the country to see nationally known entertainers such as American Idol\, Dave Chappelle\, Pete Davidson\, Boz Scaggs\, Sturgill Simpson\, Jeff Goldblum\, and more. The Music Hall uniquely serves also as a “community house” to local nonprofits offering meeting space for civic engagement\, programs and services such as graduation commencement exercises\, naturalization ceremonies\, school band concerts\, church plays and local dance recitals. Year-round\, the music hall serves as an economic driver for nearby restaurants\, retail establishments and hotels – for every 50 shows held\, the Carnegie brings over $1\,000\,000 in revenue to the Waterfront and Eighth Avenue business districts. Space rentals and ticket sales provide revenue to support the facility and programs that serve our community. “The Carnegie of Homestead is a textbook example of social enterprise and sustainability reinvention\,” experts say\, “by using revenue from the music hall and its fitness club memberships to stay viable.” The library’s core mission has been preserved\, and then some: you can check out a book or use a computer\, take a Spinning class\, learn to swim or enjoy a concert. \nAndrew Carnegie’s vision is alive today as the Carnegie of Homestead continues its dedication to the community by providing vital resources to families throughout the Mon Valley.

SUMMARY:Robert Earl Keen: Then and Now at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall
DESCRIPTION:Robert Earl Keen: Then and Now at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall\nWednesday\, June 3rd\, 2026 \nDoors: 7:00PM / Show: 8:00PM \nCarnegie of Homestead Music Hall (Munhall\, PA) \n\n\n*All tickets subject to day of show price increase. Prices at the ticket link reflect the all-in ticket price (face value + fees) – minus any taxes / credit card processing fees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeating Chart (click to view)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCarnegie of Homestead Seat Map (click to expand)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilt in 1898\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was constructed by William Miller and Sons of Pittsburgh at a cost of $250\,000. The second of three libraries built here in the Mon Valley\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was built for use by the common man but adorned with grandeur and opulence fit for a royal family. The Carnegie Library of Homestead is the oldest Carnegie library in continuous operation in its original structure in the US\, and was chosen by CNN in 2014 as one of the 27 most fascinating libraries in the world to visit. Unique to other libraries\, it also is home to a full-service athletic facility and grand concert hall. \nAlso known as the Carnegie of Homestead\, its modern mission is to provide programs and facilities that enhance learning\, wellness and quality of life within and outside the Steel Valley. Today\, we serve over 17\,000 residents of Munhall\, Homestead\, West Homestead\, Whitaker\, and families in nearby communities such as West Mifflin\, Lincoln Place\, Hays\, Greenfield\, Squirrel Hill\, Duquesne and more. The Carnegie of Homestead uplifts and improves the lives of youth\, families and the elderly\, by serving as a community activities center for families and groups throughout the Mon Valley. \nThe Library holds 3\,000\,000 county-wide items in collection including books\, audiobooks\, DVDs\, CDs\, newspapers\, magazines and eResources. There are nearly 7\,000 cardholders (35% of our residents) and on average 733 people visit daily. 30 computers provide over 30\,000 online access sessions annually by the general public\, including disadvantaged individuals who cannot afford home computers and online services. The library holds over 1\,000 learning programs annually in which almost 20\,000 participate of all ages. On any given day\, a variety of activities are happening: toddler and children story time\, arts and crafts; science and art classes for homeschooled children; literacy outreach & book distribution to 30+ local preschools and daycare centers; homework assistance for teens equipped with computers and media; laptops and iPads with college-level computer programming\, and STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Arts\, Math) workshops including robotics in the Makerspace classroom; book clubs for teens through seniors\, knitting classes\, crafting workshops for adults\, and cultural programs such as Japanese or Russian language and psyanky egg decorating! \nThe Athletic Club hosts 1\,100 members who pay affordable fees to attend in Yoga\, Water Aerobics\, Spinning\, Tai Chi\, and Zumba classes in the fitness studios\, enjoy our heated indoor swimming pool\, gymnasium with a walking track\, and train for baseball/softball using our indoor batting cages. 200 youth participate in year-round sports lessons and 230 adults enjoy year-round basketball and volleyball leagues. 150 children and adults learned to swim\, participated in aquatics exercise and scuba instruction classes. 550 seniors are active members of our Silver Sneakers/Silver and Fit exercise classes geared to older adults. \nThe Music Hall seats 1\,045 guests in an intimate atmosphere that has changed very little from the original venue. In 2019\, 50\,000 patrons traveled from Western Pennsylvania and across the country to see nationally known entertainers such as American Idol\, Dave Chappelle\, Pete Davidson\, Boz Scaggs\, Sturgill Simpson\, Jeff Goldblum\, and more. The Music Hall uniquely serves also as a “community house” to local nonprofits offering meeting space for civic engagement\, programs and services such as graduation commencement exercises\, naturalization ceremonies\, school band concerts\, church plays and local dance recitals. Year-round\, the music hall serves as an economic driver for nearby restaurants\, retail establishments and hotels – for every 50 shows held\, the Carnegie brings over $1\,000\,000 in revenue to the Waterfront and Eighth Avenue business districts. Space rentals and ticket sales provide revenue to support the facility and programs that serve our community. “The Carnegie of Homestead is a textbook example of social enterprise and sustainability reinvention\,” experts say\, “by using revenue from the music hall and its fitness club memberships to stay viable.” The library’s core mission has been preserved\, and then some: you can check out a book or use a computer\, take a Spinning class\, learn to swim or enjoy a concert. \nAndrew Carnegie’s vision is alive today as the Carnegie of Homestead continues its dedication to the community by providing vital resources to families throughout the Mon Valley.

Prices at the ticket link reflect the all-in ticket price (face value + fees) – minus any taxes / credit card processing fees. \n\n\n\n\n\nSeating Chart (click to view)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCarnegie of Homestead Seat Map (click to expand)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilt in 1898\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was constructed by William Miller and Sons of Pittsburgh at a cost of $250\,000. The second of three libraries built here in the Mon Valley\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was built for use by the common man but adorned with grandeur and opulence fit for a royal family. The Carnegie Library of Homestead is the oldest Carnegie library in continuous operation in its original structure in the US\, and was chosen by CNN in 2014 as one of the 27 most fascinating libraries in the world to visit. Unique to other libraries\, it also is home to a full-service athletic facility and grand concert hall. \nAlso known as the Carnegie of Homestead\, its modern mission is to provide programs and facilities that enhance learning\, wellness and quality of life within and outside the Steel Valley. Today\, we serve over 17\,000 residents of Munhall\, Homestead\, West Homestead\, Whitaker\, and families in nearby communities such as West Mifflin\, Lincoln Place\, Hays\, Greenfield\, Squirrel Hill\, Duquesne and more. The Carnegie of Homestead uplifts and improves the lives of youth\, families and the elderly\, by serving as a community activities center for families and groups throughout the Mon Valley. \nThe Library holds 3\,000\,000 county-wide items in collection including books\, audiobooks\, DVDs\, CDs\, newspapers\, magazines and eResources. There are nearly 7\,000 cardholders (35% of our residents) and on average 733 people visit daily. 30 computers provide over 30\,000 online access sessions annually by the general public\, including disadvantaged individuals who cannot afford home computers and online services. The library holds over 1\,000 learning programs annually in which almost 20\,000 participate of all ages. On any given day\, a variety of activities are happening: toddler and children story time\, arts and crafts; science and art classes for homeschooled children; literacy outreach & book distribution to 30+ local preschools and daycare centers; homework assistance for teens equipped with computers and media; laptops and iPads with college-level computer programming\, and STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Arts\, Math) workshops including robotics in the Makerspace classroom; book clubs for teens through seniors\, knitting classes\, crafting workshops for adults\, and cultural programs such as Japanese or Russian language and psyanky egg decorating! \nThe Athletic Club hosts 1\,100 members who pay affordable fees to attend in Yoga\, Water Aerobics\, Spinning\, Tai Chi\, and Zumba classes in the fitness studios\, enjoy our heated indoor swimming pool\, gymnasium with a walking track\, and train for baseball/softball using our indoor batting cages. 200 youth participate in year-round sports lessons and 230 adults enjoy year-round basketball and volleyball leagues. 150 children and adults learned to swim\, participated in aquatics exercise and scuba instruction classes. 550 seniors are active members of our Silver Sneakers/Silver and Fit exercise classes geared to older adults. \nThe Music Hall seats 1\,045 guests in an intimate atmosphere that has changed very little from the original venue. In 2019\, 50\,000 patrons traveled from Western Pennsylvania and across the country to see nationally known entertainers such as American Idol\, Dave Chappelle\, Pete Davidson\, Boz Scaggs\, Sturgill Simpson\, Jeff Goldblum\, and more. The Music Hall uniquely serves also as a “community house” to local nonprofits offering meeting space for civic engagement\, programs and services such as graduation commencement exercises\, naturalization ceremonies\, school band concerts\, church plays and local dance recitals. Year-round\, the music hall serves as an economic driver for nearby restaurants\, retail establishments and hotels – for every 50 shows held\, the Carnegie brings over $1\,000\,000 in revenue to the Waterfront and Eighth Avenue business districts. Space rentals and ticket sales provide revenue to support the facility and programs that serve our community. “The Carnegie of Homestead is a textbook example of social enterprise and sustainability reinvention\,” experts say\, “by using revenue from the music hall and its fitness club memberships to stay viable.” The library’s core mission has been preserved\, and then some: you can check out a book or use a computer\, take a Spinning class\, learn to swim or enjoy a concert. \nAndrew Carnegie’s vision is alive today as the Carnegie of Homestead continues its dedication to the community by providing vital resources to families throughout the Mon Valley.

On October 25 and 26\, 2024\, just days before the US presidential election\, Folds recorded two sold out performances with the NSO which he released as a live album in July which debuted at the top of the Billboard classical and classical crossover charts. \nA New York Times Best Selling author\, Ben also creates new music for film\, tv and theatre\, with original new music he composed to be featured in an animated Peanuts special airing this summer on Apple TV. \nIn 2022\, he launched a music education charitable initiative in his native state of North Carolina entitled “Keys For Kids\,” which provides funds and keyboards to existing nonprofits that offer free or affordable piano lessons to school-age children from economically-disadvantagedhouseholds. For the past 15 years he has been an outspoken advocate for arts funding\, music education and music therapy in the US as a member of Americans For The Arts and the Arts Action Fund. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeating Chart (click to view)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCarnegie of Homestead Seat Map (click to expand)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilt in 1898\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was constructed by William Miller and Sons of Pittsburgh at a cost of $250\,000. The second of three libraries built here in the Mon Valley\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was built for use by the common man but adorned with grandeur and opulence fit for a royal family. The Carnegie Library of Homestead is the oldest Carnegie library in continuous operation in its original structure in the US\, and was chosen by CNN in 2014 as one of the 27 most fascinating libraries in the world to visit. Unique to other libraries\, it also is home to a full-service athletic facility and grand concert hall. \nAlso known as the Carnegie of Homestead\, its modern mission is to provide programs and facilities that enhance learning\, wellness and quality of life within and outside the Steel Valley. Today\, we serve over 17\,000 residents of Munhall\, Homestead\, West Homestead\, Whitaker\, and families in nearby communities such as West Mifflin\, Lincoln Place\, Hays\, Greenfield\, Squirrel Hill\, Duquesne and more. The Carnegie of Homestead uplifts and improves the lives of youth\, families and the elderly\, by serving as a community activities center for families and groups throughout the Mon Valley. \nThe Library holds 3\,000\,000 county-wide items in collection including books\, audiobooks\, DVDs\, CDs\, newspapers\, magazines and eResources. There are nearly 7\,000 cardholders (35% of our residents) and on average 733 people visit daily. 30 computers provide over 30\,000 online access sessions annually by the general public\, including disadvantaged individuals who cannot afford home computers and online services. The library holds over 1\,000 learning programs annually in which almost 20\,000 participate of all ages. On any given day\, a variety of activities are happening: toddler and children story time\, arts and crafts; science and art classes for homeschooled children; literacy outreach & book distribution to 30+ local preschools and daycare centers; homework assistance for teens equipped with computers and media; laptops and iPads with college-level computer programming\, and STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Arts\, Math) workshops including robotics in the Makerspace classroom; book clubs for teens through seniors\, knitting classes\, crafting workshops for adults\, and cultural programs such as Japanese or Russian language and psyanky egg decorating! \nThe Athletic Club hosts 1\,100 members who pay affordable fees to attend in Yoga\, Water Aerobics\, Spinning\, Tai Chi\, and Zumba classes in the fitness studios\, enjoy our heated indoor swimming pool\, gymnasium with a walking track\, and train for baseball/softball using our indoor batting cages. 200 youth participate in year-round sports lessons and 230 adults enjoy year-round basketball and volleyball leagues. 150 children and adults learned to swim\, participated in aquatics exercise and scuba instruction classes. 550 seniors are active members of our Silver Sneakers/Silver and Fit exercise classes geared to older adults. \nThe Music Hall seats 1\,045 guests in an intimate atmosphere that has changed very little from the original venue. In 2019\, 50\,000 patrons traveled from Western Pennsylvania and across the country to see nationally known entertainers such as American Idol\, Dave Chappelle\, Pete Davidson\, Boz Scaggs\, Sturgill Simpson\, Jeff Goldblum\, and more. The Music Hall uniquely serves also as a “community house” to local nonprofits offering meeting space for civic engagement\, programs and services such as graduation commencement exercises\, naturalization ceremonies\, school band concerts\, church plays and local dance recitals. Year-round\, the music hall serves as an economic driver for nearby restaurants\, retail establishments and hotels – for every 50 shows held\, the Carnegie brings over $1\,000\,000 in revenue to the Waterfront and Eighth Avenue business districts. Space rentals and ticket sales provide revenue to support the facility and programs that serve our community. “The Carnegie of Homestead is a textbook example of social enterprise and sustainability reinvention\,” experts say\, “by using revenue from the music hall and its fitness club memberships to stay viable.” The library’s core mission has been preserved\, and then some: you can check out a book or use a computer\, take a Spinning class\, learn to swim or enjoy a concert. \nAndrew Carnegie’s vision is alive today as the Carnegie of Homestead continues its dedication to the community by providing vital resources to families throughout the Mon Valley.
