Scranton Ice Festival

Scranton Ice Festival Family Friendly Event showcasing everything our Downtown Scranton Business District has to offer! Interested in getting involved?

This event is a grassroots effort of a few community-minded volunteers. We are fortunate to have some wonderful partnerships such as First Friday Scranton, Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, and Scranton Tomorrow who are cheering on and promoting our efforts. This will be a free event where businesses will feature an ice sculpture outside their business. Some businesses will also be electing to

do outside vending in front of their business. We are also planning a number of activities for the weekend as well. Our goals for the event are to bring business patrons to downtown Scranton, raise funds to support the Scranton Small Business Relief fund, and create a fun and safe event for people to enjoy the downtown area. We welcome you to reach out to us as [email protected]!

Until next year... Thank you to all who came out to support our beautiful downtown!

❄️🎬 A Cozy Stop at PJ’s Pub! 🎬❄️
�While walking around Downtown Scranton and taking in all the Ice Festival fun, Dani Long Legs and the Eclectic Circus came to warm up and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

From the winter chill outside to the cozy vibes inside, PJ’s was the perfect place to take a break, grab a drink, and soak in the excitement happening around town. 🍻🔥
