The summer heat is in full swing and so is the area’s music scene! This post-Fourth of July weekend in live entertainment features major festivals such as Briggs Farm Blues Festival in Nescopeck, as well as more intimate solo shows such as Jeremy Burke at Breaker Brewing Outpost.
Refer to this list, always in no particular order, for the best events from Thursday, July 6, through Sunday, July 9, like Thomas Rhett coming to Wilkes-Barre, Stone Hedge Golf Club’s Summer Concert Series, and just about everything in between.
