Spring and Summer are my favorite time of year. Getting outside, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Wilkes-Barre and the surrounding areas offer so many fun events such as fairs, festivals, bazaars, church picnics, and block parties. I've put together a list of all that I could find right here. Keep checking back as I will be adding more as I hear about them. Check our calendar for all the family-friendly events going on in the Wilkes-Barre and surrounding areas. Know of one I am missing?
