Bring the kids to the Coach Barn at The Lands at Hillside Farms for a free, Friday evening showing of Charlotte’s Web. Saturday offers options to catch the iconic Rolling Stones live on the big screen at the Circle Drive-In. Or, head to the Mahoning Drive-In for a weekend of wild wrestling-themed fun. Finish the weekend with a free, Sunday jazz concert at Scranton’s Nay Aug Park.
Get a glimpse of Pittston’s artistic side at the city’s popular Second Friday Art Walk. And fill up the pantry with farm-fresh goodies at Lakeland Orchard & Cidery’s incredible U-Pick Produce event all weekend long.
