Some things to explore while you're at the Downtown Car Shows:
  • Market Square - Renovated, refreshed, reinvigorated with more life than ever before! Historic Market Square is once again the hub of Downtown activity. During weekday lunchtimes, office workers and Downtown students fill the Square. It's an eclectic mix of old and new, from the Oyster House, which opened in 1871, to restaurants and watering holes.
  • Fort Pitt Museum & Blockhouse - The Fort Pitt Block House was constructed in 1764 as a way to reinforce the defense of Fort Pitt. 
  • Point State Park - It's located at the confluence of three rivers, is at the tip of Pittsburgh’s “Golden Triangle.” The park commemorates and preserves the strategic and historic heritage of the area during the French and Indian War (1754 - 1763).
