Peach Music Festival – Thursday [CANCELLED] at The Pavilion at Montage Mountain

This year's artists are yet to be announced, but a quick look at 2021s headliners, Oysterhead, Les Claypool, Stewart Copeland, the Fillmore East tribute, and a very special show from Turkuaz who performed the Talking Heads album Remain in Light in its entirety, now those alone make it worthwhile, but with a 4-day weekend and over 50 artists performing, you are guaranteed an awesome selection, and as soon as the 2022 lineup is announced it will be posted here.

Founded by the Allman Brothers Band in 2012, the festival brings in some amazing artists in alternative rock, folk, blues, country, and more. There’s something for everyone here, no matter what genre of music you prefer. The entire festival takes place outdoors and is perfect for nature lovers, with two stages, the Peach Stage and the smaller Mushroom Stage, which is inside the water park, where you can enjoy the live music while floating down the lazy river!

Walking around the park, you will encounter plenty of vendors offering food from local farmers markets to carnival type foods. Drinks are available for purchase, including soft drinks, microbrews, mixed drinks, and more. Multiple ATMs are set up around the camping and festival grounds in case you need cash, although most vendors do accept credit cards.

Please be aware that summer in Scranton is often quite hot and very sunny, so bring something to protect you from the sun as average highs are in the 70s, but temperatures can get to the mid-80s. Precipitation is quite high in the summer months too, so make sure to prepare for rain.
