Night at the Three Rivers Arts Fest

On Friday night, I asked Adam if we could go to the Three Rivers Arts Festival to check it out. I mainly wanted to try some of the food trucks Pittsburgh has to offer and check out the newly redone fountain at Point State Park (it's been turned off for the last 4 years to undergo renovations).

Adam and I split a grilled cheese with bacon from Oh My Grill and a Memphis style hot dog from Franktuary. We've eaten at the Franktuary restaurant before and the dogs taste the same at both places. Oh My Grill was a new truck for us and we were pleasantly surprised. The grilled cheese wasn't greasy, which was awesome, especially for having bacon in it. Afterward, we split a hostess-style cupcake from Bella Christie.

We walked across the street to the park, where there were a bunch of vendors (both food and art) and a stage set up. The band of the night was Red Baraat and they were great. There were loads of people sitting on the lawn, having a picnic dinner and listening to the band.

In the tunnel that leads to the point, there was an art installation that definitely had everyone's attention: a giant inflatable Buddha.

We walked along the river and down to the fountain. It was a beautiful out, so we were taking our time and enjoying the sunset.

I was definitely excited to see the fountain. It's beautiful - they really did a fantastic job fixing it up.

There were so many people out - it was definitely more crowded than I expected. We walked past a group that were blowing huge bubbles using homemade bubble wands.

We left pretty shortly after, it was already getting dark and we were tired after a long day. I can't wait to get back to the point again to take some more photos!
