Photo Credit - Old Daggers

Still saying there’s nothing to do in this town? Shame on you. This weekend is full of entertainment everyday! There’s killer music at the Ritz Theater in Scranton, the Mountain Beer and Wine Festival at Penn’s Peak, Rockin’ the River on the Susquehanna, Dierks Bentley at the Pavilion, and so much more to see and do.

All venues/events listed in no particular order, the lineup changes weekly.

This week’s cover photo: Punk band out of NEPA, Old Daggers are taking over the The VSpot Bar on Saturday, July 20. Michael Kane and the Morning Afters will open the show. We covered them for Locals Only last summer and they’ve been getting bigger and bigger ever since!
