June 19-22, 2025

The WPA Juneteenth and Black Music Celebration is now the largest Juneteenth festival in North America, creating millions of dollars via tourism for Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.

LOCATION

The Pittsburgh Juneteenth Celebration has been held in Pittsburgh PA and at Point State Park since 2014; however, because of recent renovations to Downtown and at Point State Park, the WPA Juneteenth and Black Music Celebration has been temporarily moved to Mellon Spray Park for the 2025 Season.

June 18-21, 2026

The Juneteenth SOULebration will be held in Downtown Pittsburgh this year and our menu is promised to be DIVINE—heavenly-marinated grilled chicken skewers, “that coleslaw” and the fluffiest rice, summer fruit cobblers, hand pies, our bestselling cookies, Southern puddings and the whole nine!

This is a FREE event for everyone every day, so mark your calendars as the days you will TRULY eat this year and move to the beat.

Look who’s performing! This is not mumble music, my friends, but veritable JAMS!

Mom, John and I will be there, ready to serve, smile, chuckle and chat. So many of you have exclaimed in your reviews of us how pleasant and polite John is, so this is your chance to chat it up with him again, too, as he’s busy on that grill. 🤣

This is the grandest block party of your dreams!

🌟 Join us at the Harambee Ujima Black Arts Festival on August 2-3, 2025! 🎨✨

Mom’s irresistible sugar-free desserts, like her beloved sweet potato pie and signature red velvet cake, will be for sale. John and I will be there too, with our pecan joys, popular peach cobbler, pineapple upside-down cake and all kinds of other favorite Southern sweet specialties.

But that’s not all! Explore Mom’s beautiful multiethnic art prints, greeting cards and more.

Come celebrate culture, unity and creativity with us.
We’ll be so happy to see your smiling faces!

Mom’s most popular prints

Mom, my husband John and I will be ELATED to see you at The Galleria of Mt. Lebanon on Saturday, November 22nd for the I Made It! Market again this year!

We had a brilliant time before as a vendor at their holiday market in The Strip District and at the I Made It! spring market in The Galleria. Always a great time!

As ever, we will have a plethora of fancy and familiar pastries and desserts, made traditionally and wonderfully sugar-free, on our tables. Think SPLENDOR, my friends. 🌟

Mom’s popular gingerbread squares, Linzertorte bars and a host of other pastries on gold doilies, as well as a bevy of our family’s best holiday cookies and Mom’s original multiethnic holiday card designs, will be there to greet you!

For those whom regularly peruse our websites, order our award-winning sweet and savory foods for local delivery or enjoy our foods at the various markets we do each year—you already know we put our heart and soul (and blessings!) into literally everything we do. This I Made It! holiday market will be no exception.

There will be artisanal vendors of all kinds, so get ready to do a lot of your holiday shopping that day. We will, too! Nothing beats handmade. 😊

See your smiling faces and holiday cheer there! ✨⛄️🎄🎁✨

Oh, and there’s a Starbucks on the lower level of The Galleria, so grab some coffee to go with our goodies. ☕️
