Rain or shine, the 8th annual FontanaFest will be held at Riverfront Park in Pittsburgh's South Side area this Saturday, Sept. 15, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Created by state Sen. Wayne Fontana, who represents all of Baldwin Township, the daylong festival promotes family-oriented activities and celebrates the Pittsburgh area's rivers.

Free food and drinks will be available, and activities will be held throughout the day—on and off the river. A full schedule of events is available in this article's media gallery.

More information, including a list of sponsors and photos from past events can be found on the FontanaFest website or on the official website of state Sen. Wayne Fontana.
