NEPA Events in October


There are quite a few events going on in Northeastern Pennsylvania that I'd like to attend or take part in. Here's a starting list:

October 17: Burlesque, comedy, and music at The Keys

Through the Sideshow Gathering, I met quite a few burlesque performers, mostly from the Washington D.C. area. I know of only one other burlesque event in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and it was several years ago at a place I had never heard of before and haven't heard of since. This event will be at The Keys, 244 Penn Avenue in Scranton. It starts at 8:30, and admission is $5.00. 21 and over.



October 20: Bonfire at the Iron Furnaces

The Scranton Iron Furnaces, located at 159 Cedar Avenue, Scranton, are a relic of an older time, The annual bonfire there is something I have wanted to attend for many years but haven't. The bonfire goes for 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Admission is $20 on the day of the event, or $16.52 in advance ($15.00 plus a service fee.) Tickets can be purchased here.

October 31 (tentative confirmed): Be Daring Open Mic & Halloween Costume Party

Held the last Wednesday of every month at Adezzo, 515 Center Street, Scranton. However, as this will place it on Halloween itself, the date is subject to change. Sign-ups for a limited number of slots begin at 6:30 - sometimes earlier - and performances begin at 7:00. Admission is free.
