UNC’s Pine Brook Family Arts Festival Set for May 9th

United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania (UNC), in partnership with John Adams Elementary School, will host the 5th Annual Pine Brook Family Arts Festival on Saturday, May 9, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the school’s playground at 927 Capouse Avenue, Scranton.

The free event invites the community to enjoy an afternoon of hands-on art activities, entertainment, and interactive experiences. Children can take part in creative projects provided by The University of Scranton while enjoying free pizza and ice cream.

The festival will also feature the Albright Memorial Library Bookmobile, offering books and literacy resources, along with balloon animals, face painting, and other activities throughout the day. A bike giveaway will give children the chance to win a special prize, and Red, the Red Robin mascot, will make a special appearance.

Local vendors and artists will be on site with displays showcasing a range of creative work, adding to the festival’s lively atmosphere.

The Pine Brook Family Arts Festival highlights the importance of youth arts while creating opportunities for residents to come together, connect, and learn more about their neighborhood.

The event is part of UNC’s Pine Brook Revitalization Plan and is made possible through funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s Neighborhood Partnership Program, with multi-year support from Coterra Energy and Peoples Security Bank & Trust, and additional support from the City of Scranton.
