How can I find the Frick? Where can I park?

The Frick is about 20 minutes east of downtown Pittsburgh at the corner of Penn and South Homewood avenues in Point Breeze.

Free parking is available in our lot off Reynolds Street. On the nights of Summer Fridays, parking in the lot is first-come, first-serve and tends to fill up quickly.

Free street parking is available on S Lexington Ave, Reynolds St, and S Homewood Ave. Since we are located within a residential neighborhood, please be mindful of our neighbors' driveways. Refer to the posted street signs for details on street cleaning days.

The 67 and 69 buses also provide service from downtown to the Frick.

I plan to bike to Summer Fridays. Where can I park my bicycle?

You can park and lock your bicycle at the entrance of the parking lot at designated racks. We ask that you do not bring your bicycle to the event itself.

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Yes! We welcome visitors to bring their own food and drinks to Summer Fridays. There will also be food and drinks available for purchase on-site through food trucks.

Can I bring frisbees, balls, and dogs to Summer Fridays?

For the safety of our visitors and historic structures, we ask that you please:

• Leave pets at home and don't interact with animals on the grounds. Only service animals are permitted.
• Walk wheeled devices (bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc.)
• Refrain from using balls, frisbees, hockey sticks or engaging in rough play
