Happy September, Pittsburgh! The Britsburgh Festival is almost here — eight events across seven days celebrating British history, culture, and community right here in the 'Burgh. Whether you're a longtime Britsburgh friend or joining us for the first time, there's something in this lineup for you. Read on for the full schedule! What a summer it has been for Britsburgh! In August, several of our board members had the honor of attending the annual Billy Fiske Foundation dinner at the British Embassy in Washington, DC — a truly special evening connecting us to one of the most remarkable stories in British-American history. Billy Fiske was an American bobsled champion who became one of the first Americans to enlist in the Royal Air Force during World War II, and who gave his life defending Britain in the Battle of Britain in 1940. The Billy Fiske Foundation honors his legacy and the enduring bond between the United States and the United Kingdom. Learn more about Billy Fiske...
