After you have checked in, you will receive a Summer Fridays wristband. We ask visitors to keep their wristband visible at all times to be easily spotted by our staff.

Your wristband will allow you to reenter the event if you leave.

What happens if there is a weather cancelation?

We will make the final call on a weather cancelation on the day of each event. We will not have rain dates for canceled Summer Fridays.

In the event of a cancelation due to weather, we will alert all advanced ticketholders via email and have a notification banner on our website. Please check your email before arriving on site.

Advanced ticket holders will have their ticket automatically rescheduled to the next Summer Fridays event. No action will have to be taken for this to happen. If you are unable to attend the next Summer Fridays event for which your ticket has been rescheduled, please contact us.

Once you’re inside, listening to the musicians, wandering through our grounds, and participating in artmaking are free.

Food and drinks purchased at food trucks will be an additional cost, as will any purchases made in our museum store.

Will I get a reserved spot on the lawn with my entry fee?

Your ticket does not reserve a spot on the lawn. Don't worry, we have plenty of space!

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
