Hello Readers! There are a lot of great events and performances this week to choose from. If you haven’t made plans but want to get out, here’s what’s up.
Grab your camping gear and head over Montage Mountain in Scranton, PA for a weekend of fun at The Peach Music Festival. Performing acts include Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band, Gov’t Mule, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Umphrey’s McGee, moe., Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and many more excellent artists. If you’re planning to spend the whole weekend, get your tickets A.S.A.P. The longer you wait, the higher the price will be. Make sure to keep in mind that camping is not included in the admission price, and parking will also cost a bit more (the more people in your car, the less you’ll pay for parking).
