Scranton Jazz Festival returns as free multi-venue event downtown on Aug. 6-8


All of downtown Scranton will serve as center stage when the award-winning Scranton Jazz Festival returns to the Electric City on Friday, Aug. 6 through Sunday, Aug. 8.
The festival was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, but now that state health and safety restrictions have been lifted, it’s time to experience live music on a larger scale once again. The 16th annual event features a new format that is reminiscent of a New Orleans-style festival. Instead of utilizing one large main stage, performances will be held in multiple venues throughout the downtown area.
With national, regional, and local musicians, Scranton Jazz Fest fans will still enjoy the extensive variety and unique experience they have grown to expect and love. A fireworks display presented by Scranton Tomorrow and Lackawanna County will add to the celebration when it launches from the Electric City Garage (300 Spruce St., Scranton) on Saturday, Aug. 7 at 9 p.m. ....

SCRANTON With all of the snow that was recently piled on, what better way to make it look even more like winter in Scranton than with ice sculptures around its downtown area.
The city will have its first-ever Scranton Ice Festival during the weekend of Friday, Feb. 5, to Sunday, Feb. 7.
This free outdoor festival will be an opportunity for the community to safely patronize various local businesses, which will have used their branding or logo to come up with creative and whimsical ice sculptures placed in front of them. These include one of Baby Yoda holding a bowl in front of Peculiar Slurp on Penn Avenue and an angel holding a book in front of Heaven and Earth on Wyoming Avenue. ....
