Over the course of the next three years, the Three Rivers Arts Festival will dramatically reduce the amount of waste it produces. Thanks to a generous grant from the Colcom Foundation, the 2008 Festival will introduce large-scale composting in its food vending area in collaboration with partner company Restorative Events, LLC, a local company devoted to producing environmentally-friendly public events. At the end of the three-year initiative, the Festival and Restorative Events will introduce standards that may become the equivalent of LEED certification for large-scale public events.

With 300 artists, more than 50 live music performances, 15 visual arts installations and 4 original dance and theatre productions, summer begins in downtown Pittsburgh with the 49th annual Three Rivers Arts Festival. The 2008 Festival will again enliven the historic plazas, city streets and open spaces of downtown Pittsburgh with original art and live performances due to continuing renovations at Point State Park.
