Make Your Visit More Vibrant

Even More Fun!

Each season we host some of the most memorable and fun events near Pittsburgh. In July, get ready to Celebrate America with fun and festive fireworks at night and hangout at Summerfest; and in August, be ready to celebrate the arrival of fall with fun parades with unique themes at Fall Fantasy. From Opening Weekend to Phantom Fright Nights, guests who visit the park during our special events can expect to receive a special 'traditional Kennywood experience'.
