Jessup Hose Company # 2

32nd Annual Carnival

333 Hill St. Jessup

May 22 - 27, 2024





This is not one of my favorite picnics. The food is decent. The bands are decent. The parking is terrible. You may have to park blocks away. It is on the St. Ubaldo weekend. They have rides for the children. They have a big beer tent. All the usual picnic games. The teenagers are out of control. They walk right into you while tapping on their phones. Which is an issue for me because I walk with a cane. I am not sure if I will attend this year. But if you have nothing better to do give it a try, for a first picnic of the season.

Jefferson Township Volunteer Fire Company

Carnival on the Mountain

405 Cortez Road Mt. Cobb

June 11 - 15, 2024





This is a decent picnic. The food is good. On the weekend they have decent bands. The beer tent is back this year. They have plenty of rides for the children. The parking lot is a mud hole. I try and go during the week when there are less people there. They have some seating but not enough. I will try to make it this year most likely on a Thursday. It is not a great picnic but it is still worth a visit.

Mary Mother of God Parish

Annual Block Party

West Market St. Scranton

June 14 & 15, 2024





This is one of the best of the season. The food is great. The bands are great. The volunteers are friendly and helpful. Parking can be a little tight. But get there early. Also there is parking in the church lot on William St. Join me in the back for a game of Irish Poker or try your luck at Beat the House. The beer is cold. Peggy's baskets are amazing. They have fun and food for children and adults. Including the annual diaper derby. If you miss this one you miss one of the best of the year.

Divine Mercy Parish

Parish Picnic

312 Davis St. Scranton

June 21 - 23, 2024





This is one of the better picnics of the season. The food is very good and they have quite a variety. They have a large beer tent which is usually packed. The bands are so so. The potato pancakes are great, but be prepared to stand in a very long line. My biggest complaint is there is very little parking. They have plenty of games that are fun for children and adults alike. Don't miss this one because it is definitely one of the better ones.
