==Arts and culture== Through the years, the convenience of the borough, plus the amenities offered its residents, has kept it densely populated. Its citizens enjoy one of the largest swimming pools in Pennsylvania (>60,000 square feet), two parks, basketball and tennis courts, two Little League fields, a fine library, an impressive volunteer-built children's playground, as well as seasonal activities for both children and adults. "Dormont Day," the annual Fourth of July park-wide event, is the highlight of the summer season and features all day family entertainment beginning with the 8:00 a.m. Twenty-One Gun Salute and culminating with one of the most spectacular fireworks displays for a community of this size. During the day, park goers are treated to live music, picnics, food booths, games, pony rides, and youth foot races. In the fall, Dormont hosts the Dormont Street and Music Festival, featuring two stages of bands playing a variety of music from 2:00 - 10:00 PM. Dormont is home to one of the largest municipal pools in Pennsylvania and hosts several community events throughout the year, including Dormont Day, Dormont Street Fair & Music Festival, and Dormont Winter Festival & Light Up Night.<ref name="thealmanac.net"/> Organizations such as the Dormont Historical Society, the Dormont Library, the Dormont Arts & Culture Committee, and the Dormont Community Development Corporation work to promote and preserve the culture of Dormont. Annual events like Dormont Pride, Dormont Ethnic Food Festival, and Dormont Multicultural Day celebrate its cultural diversity and inclusivity.<ref name="thealmanac.net"/>
