Good things are happening this weekend! No, really though, Good Things Are Happening Fest comes to Scranton’s Iron Furnaces on Saturday, August 12 to bring the community a day of music from various artists. In addition, Musikfest continues at the SteelStacks through the weekend, Emo Night comes to the River Street Jazz Café with opening acts Roderik, Pine Creek Academy, & Layul, and E57 reunites with its original members for one night only.
