This might just be the biggest weekend in entertainment all year! Scranton Jazz Festival is happening through the city, Penn’s Peak has three nights of Summer Deck Parties, the 11-day celebration of Musikfest kicks off in Bethlehem, the Pavilion at Montage Mountain has hot concerts both Friday and Saturday, and somehow…lots, lots more!
All venues/events listed in no particular order, the lineup changes weekly.
This week’s cover photo: Hunkajunk is a busy band based out of Allentown that blends the line between funky soul and rock n’ roll. This seven to nine piece band will play Penn’s Peak’s Summer Deck Party on Thursday, August 1. This band can do it all, from retro hits to modern classics to their own original jams. In case you miss the show, you can find them at Musikfest next week!
