Come join Pittsburgh Community Market and The Happy Black Parent for a delightful afternoon of lantern making before we head out to the Westside BeltLine Lantern Parade! Starting at 12 PM, get creative at the children’s lantern making workshop station and make your own unique lanterns for the celebration. The market will also feature local businesses, food vendors, pickleball demonstrations, and more.
