On Sept. 7, Buzzword will have a presence at the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy’s Harvest Festival, which runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Frick Environmental Center. The event highlights the history and significance of the From Slavery to Freedom Garden.
Then, on Sept. 14, it will set up at Citiparks’ Alphabet Trail and Trails, which runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Frick Park Blue Slide Playground on Beechwood Boulevard at Nicholson Street.

Finally, visitors can catch Buzzword at Citiparks’ Track and Treat for Kids, which runs from noon to 4 p.m. on Oct. 19. Attendees can bring their bikes or borrow one from Citiparks at this healthy lifestyle event. Visitors will be able to decorate their bikes, play games, or enter a Halloween costume contest.
