Pittsburgh. It’s the steel city, it’s the city of champions and it’s one of the most affordable places to live in America. But did you know it’s also one of the most...undead?! Known as the zombie capital of the world, Pittsburgh is famous for its undead reputation and proud of it, too! Starting with George A. Romero’s 1968 film, Night of the Living Dead, which was set in a rural Pennsylvania town, zombies have gained worldwide popularity and Pittsburgh has been considered their ‘ground-zero’. In fact, in just one week, on October 12th, Pittsburgh neighborhoods will be completely overrun with Zombies as part of Pittsburgh’s 8th Annual Zombie Fest!
In previous years Zombie Fest has seen the streets of Pittsburgh neighborhoods such as South Side and Downtown, but this year zombies will be hitting the streets of Lawrenceville! Starting at 12PM on Saturday, October 12th, the undead will rise and gather at Arsenal Park on 39th Street for a day of live music, contests, good food and other festivities. And when the undead celebration finally reaches its peak, be sure to watch out. This year the Zombies will be roaming the streets in search for...beer! Yes, beer! This years Zombie Fest will host the first annual Zombie Fest Bar Crawl.
There is no point to try to run and no point to try to hide. Next Saturday is a time to come together and celebrate as the Pittsburgh undead! With free admission, all that’s asked is that you come dressed as a zombie and bring with you a non perishable donation for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank! So come join the fun and learn to live little! For more details on Zombie Fest, visit www.pittsburghzombiefest.com/ and check out the following Zombie Fest promo:
