celebrate america!

Celebrate America! turns back the clock to a by-gone era and a glimpse of the way things used to be in simpler times.

From Monday, June 29th thru Sunday July 5th, Celebrate America! brings many special sights and sounds to Kennywood. Mimes, jugglers, stilt walkers, and magicians who feature old-fashioned slight of hand tricks entertain around the park each day. A world-class ragtime piano player at the gazebo echoes through the trees behind Kennywood's Kandy Kaleidoscope.

Each day antique or classic cars are scattered through the park.  You might see Ford Model A's, Pontiac GTO's, and Corvettes, or other jaw-dropping beauties.

And don't miss craft displays and demonstrations. There's world renowned carrousel horse carver, George Nowack, chain saw carver Jeff Pinney, champion ice carver Rich Bubin, Maria Nadik from Maria Custom Creations (jewelry) and Pittsburgh artist Linda Barnicott. The kids will enjoy extra fun activities provided by Pittsburgh's Children's Museum.

Each day brings different special entertainment forms to the Celebrate America! stage in Pavilion 23, near the Log Jammer.  (See Schedule).

There's even a parade each evening at 6PM, led by Kenny Kangaroo, of course.  Celebrate America! adds another festive feeling of yesteryear as Kennywood Team Members take a quick break to dress in circus parade garb as muscle men, keystone kops, clowns, flappers and, of course, a ringmaster.

Capping off each night is another family favorite - fireworks!  What a better way to close out a full day of fun, thrills, and excitement? It's just another way to make a new memory at Kennywood!
