All of downtown Scranton will serve as center stage when the award-winning Scranton Jazz Festival returns to the Electric City on Friday, Aug. 6 through Sunday, Aug. 8.
The festival was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, but now that state health and safety restrictions have been lifted, it’s time to experience live music on a larger scale once again. The 16th annual event features a new format that is reminiscent of a New Orleans-style festival. Instead of utilizing one large main stage, performances will be held in multiple venues throughout the downtown area.
With national, regional, and local musicians, Scranton Jazz Fest fans will still enjoy the extensive variety and unique experience they have grown to expect and love. A fireworks display presented by Scranton Tomorrow and Lackawanna County will add to the celebration when it launches from the Electric City Garage (300 Spruce St., Scranton) on Saturday, Aug. 7 at 9 p.m.
