Halloween-themed rock/metal festival Hallowfest haunting Nay Aug Park in Scranton on Oct. 24
From a press release:
A brand new Halloween-themed rock/metal outdoor festival called Hallowfest has been announced for Saturday, Oct. 24 at Nay Aug Park in Scranton, featuring music, art, food, and more.
Organized by Jess Meoni, who also founded the Scranton Zine Fest and GRRRLS Night open mic, the event is free and open to the public, though it is not an event marketed towards children. Kids are welcome, but there will not be children’s crafts or activities at Hallowfest, unlike many outdoor festivals in Northeastern Pennsylvania earlier this year. Face paint and costumes are encouraged.
Each band is slotted for 45-60-minute sets. The lineup contains all local acts with the exception of the headliner, Abstruktor, from Boston.
