Looking for something to do this weekend? There's a yoga festival in Lackawanna County, a pierogi celebration in Luzerne County and plenty of events for Father's Day.
Edwardsville Pierogi Festival
In Edwardsville this weekend, it’s a celebration of a beloved Polish delicacy.
A Pierogi parade is planned for Saturday at 11 a.m. and a pierogi cook off will take place that afternoon.
Dozens of vendors will sell pierogies and other food items. The festival, organized by the Edwardsville Hometown Committee, is at John Hopkins Memorial Park in Edwardsville Friday and Saturday.
There will also be a petting zoo, carnival rides and live entertainment. This year’s theme is “It’s pierogi time somewhere.”
