This weekend, we’re pregaming Christmas with great concerts, parties, and experiences all across Northeastern Pennsylvania. Whether you need to embrace the holiday spirit or escape the “Ghost of Christmas Present,” get out for some live entertainment before the year is complete.
All venues/events listed in no particular order, the lineup changes weekly.
Cover Photo of the Week: Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and entertainer with the voice of an angel, Anthony Nunziata comes to the Theater at North for his fourth holiday show in a row at The Theater at North in Scranton. This year’s brand new two-act show, “Bublé to Bocelli” A Christmas Concert, explores fresh takes on Christmas songs, romantic classics, Italian arias, and a few of Nunziata’s beautiful originals.
