Fall at the Furnaces Brings Four Arts and Cultural Events to Scranton’s Historic Iron Furnaces

This fall, one of Scranton’s most distinctive historic landmarks will become a destination for live music, theater, visual art, and performance as Valley In Motion (VIM) presents Fall at the Furnaces, a four-event series at the Scranton Iron
Furnaces, 159 Cedar Avenue.

Presented in partnership with Good Things Are Happening! Fest, Scranton Shakespeare Festival, Scranton Fringe Festival, and the Anthracite Heritage Museum, Fall at the Furnaces celebrates Northeastern Pennsylvania’s creativity, culture, and community while bringing new activity to one of the city’s most significant historic
public spaces.

Four events. One historic destination.

“Fall at the Furnaces activates an incredible place in our community,” said Gus Fahey, President of Valley In Motion. “The Iron Furnaces are an important part of Scranton’s founding story. This series brings new experiences to the community, creating memories through music, theater, and art.”
