Culture of Pittsburgh - Counter-Culture

Counter-Culture

Pittsburgh has recently gained attention as a burgeoning center for counter-culture. The annual Pennsic War, the Society for Creative Anachronism's largest re-enactment of pre-17th-century Europe, is hosted nearby. Anthrocon, the world's largest anthropomorphics convention, returns every summer to the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. The Pittsburgh Cacophony Society is also very active, and in 2008, the Pittsburgh Burning Man community launched a winter regional burn event called Frostburn.
