From live music and outdoor yoga to good eats and shopping, here’s your guide to checking off the best experiences Bakery Square has to offer this season. The bingo card is simple- check off events and activities around the Square throughout the summer. Complete five in a row and get a free scoop of Jeni’s Ice Cream. 

Live Music, Yoga, Movies & More

Every weekend, Bakery Square transforms its courtyard into an al fresco music venue from 6-9 PM. On Fridays, start your weekend upbeat as live DJs spin tracks. On Saturdays, the energy keeps flowing with live bands performing everything from indie rock to jazz, setting the mood for the ideal summer evening with friends, family, or even a solo date night. There’s seating available on the patio, or you can bring your chair or blanket to relax on the lawn. 

Wellness meets accessibility here with Bakery Square Yoga—a free, open-level class held in a bright, art-filled space inside or on the lawn when weather permits. The class is from 10:30 to 11:30 every Saturday. It’s a great option if you're looking to slow down, stretch, or add movement to your day without a gym membership or complicated gear. Bring your mat, a water bottle, and whatever pace you’re comfortable with. Whether it’s your first class or part of your weekly routine, you’ll find a welcoming space here. 

Interested in taking up running this summer? Fleet Feet's Run Club is a great entry point, offering weekly group runs that are open to everyone. Whether you're training for a race or just trying to stay active, the club is a supportive space for runners and walkers of all experience levels. The runs start at Fleet Feet Bakery Square and wind through the neighborhood, with various pace groups available. Attend Thursday’s East End Pub Run for a no-pressure environment that finishes with a discounted beer at City Kitchen. 

Outdoor movies are one of the summer’s simplest pleasures. At Bakery Square, you can catch a film on the first and third Sundays of each month. Screenings take place in the courtyard at 7:30. Movies range from family-friendly favorites to feel-good classics. The vibe is casual: bring a blanket or lawn chair, grab some complimentary Pittsburgh Popcorn Company Popcorn, and settle in for a movie under the stars.

Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the movie lineup and any weather updates by checking Bakery Square’s Events Page or following along on social media.
