New gallery up at Marketplace at Steamtown

Downtown Scranton comes alive this Labor Day weekend with the annual La Festa Italiana on Lackawanna County Courthouse Square and Railfest at Steamtown National Historic Site.

If you’re checking out either — or both — of those events or just hanging around the city during the long holiday weekend, you might want to trek down to Lackawanna Avenue and check out a new streetside art gallery.

The Steamtown Street Gallery is located inside windows on the exterior of the Marketplace at Steamtown. Check out some of the work the gallery shared on Instagram below.
