Event Calendar

Please save the date for Scranton City Pride 2023, as we again partner with our friends at Scranton Tomorrow to launch a citywide cleanup and beautification initiative. Taking place from June 2-10, Scranton City Pride will feature trash and litter cleanups, planting efforts, and other neighborhood beautification efforts. Participants can organize their family, neighbors, and coworkers to do a group project, or join up with a pre-planned service site.
