ArtsQuest will present Pierogipalooza, an experiential dining experience, beginning at 2 p.m. on Oct. 2.

Attendees will be able to sample savory pierogi creations at stations throughout the SteelStacks campus. Passports can be purchased for $20 in advance or $23 the day of event.

“Palette & Pour, our new full-service bar and quick-service kitchen located on the first floor of the ArtsQuest Center, has given us the opportunity to take our dining experiences to the next level,” Patrick Brogan, ArtsQuest’s Chief Programming Officer said. “We can’t wait for foodies to try these new takes on this potato-filled Pennsylvania food staple.”

With the passports, attendees will receive their choice of any six pierogis, available at different spots on the SteelStacks campus.

Pierogies can also be purchased individually for $4 on the day of the event.

Savory varieties will include Buffalo chicken, baked potato, jalapeño popper, Philly cheesesteak and Reuben pierogies. Those with a sweet tooth can try the sweet potato pie, maple and marshmallow varieties.

Pierogipalooza will be part of ArtsQuest’s Oktoberfest. The festival, now in its 11th year, will feature brew samples, live music, local artisans as well as popular activities like the dachshund dog parade and the Pennsylvania State Steinholding Championship.
