HISTORY
Pittsburgh Vintage Mixer is organized by a group of Pittsburgh vintage sellers whose mission is to bring together

atmosphere - collections, conversations and kitsch! The first Vintage Mixer was held in Summer 2011 at The New Hazlett Theater.
Since, the Mixer also has hosted Vintage Pittsburgh vendor fair at the Heinz History Center in 2013 and April 2014. To date, Vintage
Pittsburgh is the largest ever public event at the History Center. This May will be our fifth anniversary!
