Look, it was completely accidental that I found out about this festival and I dont know what god to…read morethank but this was the best thing that could ever have happened on a trip to Scranton. I lived on the east coast for over 20 years - mostly in Boston and NY, but I then moved to Chicago and Louisville. And while I love those places there is absolutely no "Italian" food to speak of. I didn't realize what a deficit I had been in until I saw what was offered here. Fresh cannoli, eggplant parmigiana pizza, WHITE PIZZA (IYKYK), sausage and peppers, beef sandwiches, and the thing that really brought me to my knees - tomato pie. For those that dont know, tomato pie is a thick slathering of tomato sauce on a thick piece of dough, and a bit of parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. It is so simple, yet SO GODDAMNED DELICIOUS. I remember having it all the time as a kid and when I moved to Chicago people thought I was crazy when I asked about it. They thought I was looking for that elementary school pizza that is cut into squares. That stuff is NOT the same and when I saw real! tomato! pie! here I threw my wallet at them and said take my money. Now before you think I was here simply to gorge myself and be rolled out like Violet Beauregarde in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory you would be correct, but also there was music, and entertainment, and the people watching was elite. I plan on returning every year until I die. Thank you for giving me my fix, La Festa, you have no idea how badly I needed it!

Other than my family, this is the reason to return to Scranton each Labor Day weekend…read more Great music Good times and amazing food It's not all Italian cuisine There's something for everyone However My favorite Porketta sandwich is there and I get at least one every year.. Obviously pizza and every Italian pastry you could ever want to try Best cannolis There's plenty of parking in garages surrounding the square The only thing I wish they would change is to add alcohol sales Beer wine and Prosecco would make this better than at paddy's day in my opinion

Mysteryland USA - Holy ground campgrounds

Mysteryland USA

After more than 20 years of successful shows in the Netherlands, Mysteryland hopped across the pond…read moreand done did their first US festival on the iconic Woodstock '69 grounds. Needless to say, we purchased 3-day camping tickets back in December the first three minutes they went on sale, and all had a killer weekend! The inaugural Mysteryland USA festival featured ten combined stages/areas stages with a Sunday School 3-stage mini-fest going on all weekend. A Friday night pre-party hosted by Nicky Romero was available to those with Nomad weekend camping passes, and Saturday/Sunday set times ran from 1pm all the way till 2am both days. Steve Aoki closed out the main stage on Saturday and Kaskade did the honors on Sunday, but from open to close, our day was jam-packed with killer sets both days, and plenty of exploring and dancing all around. A+ on stage design, sound, lighting, and of course, the talent! The healing garden, complete with yoga and other cool stuff added some well-needed relaxation/rejuvenation to an otherwise high-energy weekend, and there were plenty of (albeit REALLY pricey) food options. Best of all, the campgrounds provided solace just a short walk away from the party! I'm grading on a curve since this is their first time here in the states, but there's a short list for improvement: 1 - Birdie Bucks - Yes, the festival was cashless, with all purchases scanned from your wristband, but you could only purchase "Birdie Bucks" at select locations, and at the "exchange rate" of $10 USD for 9 Birdie Bucks. They claim to refund unused bucks after the festival, but then deduct a $5 service charge, so unless you want to lose money, you need to be planning & doing math so as to use all your wristband funds...and who the hell wants to do that at a festival?! Compound that with the fact that the entire system went down for a few hours, paralyzing all purchases, and you've got reason to reconsider the rationale for the system. ...Fortunately, I found a workaround to the leftover Bucks situation - Go to the merch shop (which accepts BOTH cash and Birdie Bucks), make a purchase, deplete your wristband balance first, then pay the balance in cash. 2 - Water refill stations - located dangerously close (read: inside) the outhouse area causing even more congestion, with not nearly enough pressure to fill up those camelbaks. Here's where they could take a page from Electric Zoo or EDC and have dedicated high-pressure water refill stations manned by volunteers to keep the line moving and the crowd spread out. All in all, in my mind, ID&T, the Mysteryland organizers did a terrific job their first year, and I hope that the Bethel Woods organizers feel the same so we can party on again next Memorial Day weekend!

Do I really want to reveal the mystery that is Mysteryland? As much as I want to keep this place a…read moresecret, hidden away for no one else to discover, I have to shout from the rooftops just how amazing this festival is. 1) The Logistics - Getting in, out, and around is EASY! Having been to many other festivals where just parking your car is a nightmare, Mysteryland had it all figured out. The little roads around the fest took a beating with heavy traffic but it was nothing like Woodstock back in the day I'm sure. The bathrooms were kept extremely clean at all times. I never had issues with toilet paper or disgusting porta-potties. 2) The People - Everyone was so nice and respectful. The staff were always wishing for us to have an amazing time. I loved the vibes here! 4) The Music - A nice selection of genres from hip top and trap to dark techno and everything in between. The sound was amazing! 5) The Stages - They were so perfectly placed. It was easy to go from stage to stage in 5 minutes. I saw so many artists in one day, I was so surprised! The design of the stages is so unique and each has their own vibe. With a festival that is not sold out like Mysteryland, getting to the front of each stage is an easy task. Where you would expect people to be sardines rammed up against the rail, it is the complete opposite. I vowed to never go front row at a show again after recieving many bruises after Steve Aoki in Toronto. Well here I was, front row at Claude Von Stroke and I had a good foot around me to dance and enjoy myself. I was never shoved or pushed once the entire weekend. 6) The Camping - Camp sites were huge and spacious. The Plaza Central with shops, food, and activities stayed open 24/7 which was a big plus. The general store had everything from underwear to extra tents and sleeping bags. 7) The History - This is where WOODSTOCK HAPPENED!! That is probably the most amazing thing about all of this. The hill we climb each day to go to the festival is where thousands of people stood to watch some of the greatest acts to ever live. The museum on site is very well done and can bring a tear to your eye. So much emotion in one place. Music really does bring everyone together. I'll be back Mysteryland! As long as you are around, I will be coming to visit!!
