Soak up every second of these long summer solstice days while you can! It’s a big weekend for entertainment in Northeastern Pennsylvania. There’s no shortage of outdoor concerts, patio parties, and other gatherings with excellent acts lined up!
Enjoy a summer concert series in Hazleton, Waverly, or Berwick. If that doesn’t float your boat, there’s a NEPA Horror Fest Pre-Party in Scranton or the 34th Annual Billtown Blues Music Festival in Hughesville. Check the list below for something cool to do near you.
All venues/events listed in no particular order, the lineup changes weekly.
This week’s cover photo: Original hard rock band, Suppress the Sky is playing two spots in NEPA this weekend! This energetic act headlines their very own show at the Sherman Showcase in Stroudsburg on Friday night, June 21. Then Saturday, June 22, they’ll head over to The Tap at Humboldt for “Art Fest 2024 – Elemental Fusion” to play during their full day of music, art, and fun on the patio.
