COMMUNITY DAY
Ladies, gentlemen, and children of all ages, step right up for what will doubtless be the greatest show in Pittsburgh! As Collier Township celebrates its 150-year anniversary of its formation, we’ re pulling out all the stops to bring you our annual Community Day on June 14th from 2 to 10 p. m. in Collier Park and in the most spectacular fashion yet! Marvel at our stilt walkers and jugglers, be awed by the Felix Riba Magic Show, and let your heart soar with the Iron City Aerial Show. Our event emcee Jeremy“ Danger” Mulder will have you on the edge of your seat for the next act, and you can jam out with us in what’ s sure to be a jam-packed show with our featured bands Spincycle and Acoustic Daze. With a petting zoo, face-painting, inflatables, the Steel City Gamerz, craft vendors, business vendors, food vendors and more, we have something for every member of the family! So come on down while this circus is in town, because this is a night you won’ t want to miss!
CONCERTS IN THE PARK
This summer, we’ re going to BYOB— Bring You Our Beats, that is! Every Sunday from June 1st to August 17th, join us in Collier Park from 6:30 to 8:30 p. m. for a new live band every week! Grab a blanket or pull up a chair and enjoy the sounds of summer. What concert is complete without food and drinks? We’ ll have local food vendors on standby for all kinds of concert-going cuisine, and every concert will allow adults to purchase beer from the Grist House to bring you a sip of summer. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some easy listening!

BASKETBALL SUMMER LEAGUES
If your child likes basketball, then these programs are a surefire slam-dunk! We have two summer leagues available this year: Recreational, for individuals who can be randomly drafted into teams, and School Division, for premade team rosters. If you’ re looking for a place where your child can learn the value of teamwork and communication while enjoying a friendly competitive sport, then don’ t delay— sign up today! Registration ends June 1st, and these programs take place at the Collier Community Center.
SUMMER CHESS CAMP WITH THE KNIGHT SCHOOL
Not to be confused with our Summer Camp( see below), our Summer Chess Camp program is for Rook-ies and Kings alike. Does your child want to learn the ropes of chess, or are they looking to refine or change up their tactics or face off against other chess players? Either way, that’ s a checkmate from us! Whatever their skill level and style of play, The Knight School is here to teach them all about tournament chess: how it works, how to play, how to hone their skills, and most importantly how to have fun with chess! Sign up for one of our five-day sessions from July 14th to July 18th or from July 28th to August 1st.
SUMMER CAMP 2025
Not to be confused with our Summer Chess Camp( see above), our Summer Camp program is for those who want to partake in arts, crafts, the great outdoors, physical activities, and more! With a new fun theme every week, this program not only promotes socialization and physical activity but also provides children with the opportunity to develop independence and skill-building in a fun and supportive environment. Summer Camp is held from 9 a. m. to noon, Monday through Friday, and it runs for 8 weeks, beginning June 16th through August 15th, with no camp for the week of July 4th. Sign up today to enroll your child for this enriching experience, where they can build their confidence and discover new interests and passions!
