Pechersky Orthodontics knows summer in Monroeville is better when it comes with plenty of reasons to get outside with the kids. Dr. Pechersky and the team love seeing their patients enjoying more than just progress photos, like backyard festivals, free movie nights, and weekends filled with music and food trucks. It’s one of the perks of living and smiling locally: a great orthodontist in Pittsburgh, plus a town that keeps families connected all summer long. Let’s take a look at five family-friendly events worth adding to your calendar.
Monroeville Summer Concert Series
Sundays, June – August, 6:30 – 8:30 PM
Tall Trees Amphitheater, Monroeville Community Park West (2447 Tilbrook Rd)
Summer Sundays come alive with community spirit as families spread blankets on the lawn for live music under the treetops. This concert series is free, open to all ages, and designed for multi-generational fun. Kids can play nearby while adults sit back and enjoy. Bring snacks, lawn chairs, or a cozy quilt, and take in the performances from the East Winds Symphonic Band and local artists.
This friendly gathering shows summer in Monroeville is just as much about local connection as it is about sunshine and song.
Let’s switch gears to a hometown celebration that brings the whole community together in red, white, and blue.
Monroeville Independence Day Parade & Fireworks
Friday, July 4, 2025 • Parade at 9 AM + Fireworks at 9:30 PM
Miracle Mile Shopping Center → Monroeville Mall Annex
Combine small-town cheer with hometown pride during this patriotic celebration. The parade marches along Route 22 from Miracle Mile to the Monroeville Convention Center—think floats, marching bands, community groups, and kids handing out candy.
Later in the evening, gather in the Mall Annex parking lot to watch a dazzling fireworks show set against the summer sky. This all-ages event is free, festive, and perfect for families looking to celebrate together (perhaps after visiting your Pittsburgh orthodontist, Dr. Pechersky!)
Next, we’ll spotlight a local farmers’ market that mixes fresh finds with family-friendly vibes every weekend.
Monroeville Lions Farmers Market
Saturdays, May 10 – November 22, 2025 • 9 AM – 12 PM (Closed June 14)
Monroeville Mall, between Dick’s Sporting Goods & Best Buy (200 Mall Circle Dr)
Sunny Saturday mornings come alive with fresh produce, baked treats, and friendly chatter at this market run by the Monroeville Lions Club. Open to all ages, it features locally grown fruits and veggies, handmade crafts, live music at times, and even a kid-friendly corner that keeps little shoppers engaged.
Families can stroll between stalls, sample seasonal favorites, and support local vendors together. If you’re wearing clear aligners in Pittsburgh, it’s a great spot to find soft, fresh foods that are gentle on your trays and easy to clean up after.

Time for a Sunny Season Check-in
Summer’s better when your Pittsburgh orthodontist gets it. We don’t mean just the science of smiles, but the energy of busy families, changing routines, and real life outside the office. Dr. Pechersky has spent decades earning the trust of Pittsburgh and Monroeville families by making every visit feel easy to show up for and worth coming back to. His innovative tech tools (including the ones he invented like Movemints®!) keep things efficient, while his friendly, clear approach makes patients feel like part of the process.
