Follow the Yellow Brick Road
Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera taps a family favorite for its Heinz Field debut of the CLO Summer Under the Stars. “The Wizard of Oz” stage musical, running July 8-10, includes all of those familiar songs that transport you from a Kansas farm to Munchkinland and the merry old land of Oz. To comply with safety concerns, the production gives kids a rare opportunity to see live theater on the Steelers’ playing field. It’s an apt venue for the 75th anniversary of the CLO, which started producing musicals in Pitt Stadium in 1946. Tickets start at $15.

Play favorites
The July 10th episode of the Summer Sidewalk Series at Heinz History Center puts the focus on Pittsburgh favorites. Kids will work on deigning their own pickle pin and creating a Burton Morris-inspired Pop Art masterpiece. Pittsburgh amusement park history will be visited with a stroll down the midway. Summer Sidewalk Series takes place from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at the parking lot on Penn Avenue between 12th and 13th streets in the Strip District. No registration is required for this free event.

Explore the Ice Age

Head to McConnells Mill State Park on July 10 for a free guided hike that focuses on how glaciers in the Ice Age changed the landscape, leaving huge boulders behind and cutting the path of Slippery Rock Creek. Meet the park naturalists in the Point Parking Lot before heading off on the Alpha Pass Trail. All ages are welcome but expect a moderately difficult trail with some rocky ups and downs. Dress for the weather, including sturdy footwear, and bring a snack and water. The Glaciers and the Ice Age hike runs from 10 a.m.-noon. No registration is required.
