Members of Iron City Circus Arts and Pittsburgh Circus Arts Collaborative performed in Market Square on Fri., July 12.
Our friends at
Iron City Circus Arts and the
Pittsburgh Circus Arts Collaborative, who will be performing at
Pittsburgh City Paper's Best of Pittsburgh party on Thu., Aug. 8 at Nova Place, gave us a little taste of their talents during the Friday Night Market in Downtown's Market Square. Aerialists, jugglers, stilt-walkers, and fire-breathers showed off for a great crowd.
It's impossible to make a bad photo of these performers, but here's my visual interpretation of the evening.

Lawrenceville team at the 2017 Garbage Olympics
Teams of volunteers from all over Pittsburgh are ready to clean up the streets for the second annual Garbage Olympics.
Garbage Olympics co-organizer Alicia Carberry, describes it as a “friendly competition to get as much litter out of Pittsburgh as possible” and as a way to raise awareness of the fact that neighborhood groups are able to receive cleanup resources from the Department of Public Works.
“It’s a driven effort to complement what the [City of Pittsburgh] already does and is getting better at,” says Carberry, who co-organizes the event with Lena Andrews.
She points out how the city has tried to eliminate litter with the launch of smart receptacles that use sensors to tell when a block needs more trash cans. But more can be done.
