It’s that magical time of year again to make special memories with family and friends. When it comes to holiday happenings, Allegheny County and the City of Pittsburgh never lacks for plenty of options to take in a special holiday show, activity or event. Here’s our annual roundup of our favorite things to do in and around the region.
The Carnegie Museum Group, 4400 Forbes Ave., Oakland. Call (412) 622-3131 or visit cmoa.org Kick off your holidays with a visit to this popular seasonal display, brought to you by the Carnegie Museum of Art Women’s Committee. This year’s theme is “Beloved Children’s Books”, featuring trees inspired by The Cat in the Hat, Alice in
Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, The Jungle Book and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. See the Hall of Architecture filled with several towering Colorado spruce trees, each adorned with handcrafted ornaments from committee members and collaborating organizations. The trees flank the museum’s exquisite Neapolitan presepio Nativity scene, a cherished Pittsburgh tradition. Continued on page 3
