Saturday, May 17 & Sunday, May 18

You are invited to celebrate Queen Victoria's Birthday in the Allegheny West Historic District.

The celebration will include English High Tea as the Queen herself would have enjoyed and a presentation entitled How to Create an English Garden. Both the tea and presentation will take place in restored Victorian homes in the neighborhood. The tea and garden presentation afford a rare opportunity to glimpse a by-gone era and experience the lifestyle of Queen Victoria on the commemoration of her 189th birthday.

You will meet at 2:30pm for the presentation, How to Create an English Garden by garden designer and English garden enthusiast Carol Churnega and then will proceed to a restored neighborhood home for a traditional English High Tea prepared by well known caterer Linda Iannotta . The Queen herself might make an appearance.

Allegheny West, a federal, state and city historic district, is located on Pittsburgh's North Side, just west of the Aviary and The Allegheny Commons, and north of the stadiums.
