    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

    What a gorgeous afternoon at The Fair! So much to see and experience. All the staff were…read moreexceptionally friendly, parking was easy (plenty of parking helpers). The rides, the food and attractions make for great entertainment. Plenty of farm animals to see up close, indoor exhibits of local photographers, historic farm equipment and so much more. You won't be bored. Wear your walking shoes, lots of ground to cover.

    Probably one of the best fairs in the area! My wife and I love going to these kinds of things. So…read moremuch to see and do!!! Coming here will keep anyone entertained for an entire day! Between the shows and animals, there is always something going on. There is no good way to write a review about this place, but I will try! Do you love farm animals? They have 3 barns of cows, a barn for sheep, and goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and so many other animals! DO NOT PET THEM! lol! They even have a milking barn, where they show you how cows get milked on farms. Along with that, they have tons of competitions amongst the animals. Tons of fun to watch! They also have a petting zoo where you can pet the animals, as well as a pony ride. Do you love kitchy shows? From watching someone carve wood to pig races, animatronic shows to acrobatics! You could spend a whole day watching them. Make sure to tip the performers! Do you like food? Well, look no further! You can find anything from typical sausage peppers and burgers to bbq, tacos, and apples 20 ways! Id list all the food choices, but there isnt enough room. There is something for everyone! Even picky eaters. Do you like games? They have plenty of those "easy" carnival games! HAHAHA! Try them once or twice but dont think that 1 more time and you WILL win, the house will win lol! From ring toss to the water game that blows up balloons, and from pick a duck to shoot out the star, they have all the fair games that you can want! Do you like rides? They have over 30! From mad mouse coasters to tilt a whirl as well as many others. You can buy an armband for a full day of unlimited rides or get ticket books! Some other noteworthy attractions are the demolition derby, horse races and shows! All in all, this is a great way to spend a day out with the family. There is plenty to see and do. Oh and plenty of parking! Just make sure that you leave early... the roads aren't designed to handle the amount of cars...

    Stopped by the fair on a very warm Sunday afternoon. I decided to take the train instead of driving…read moreand it is very conveniently located basically across the street from the train station. There were many vendors to check out and they had a nice selection of items. They also had a specific area set aside for the food vendors but there wasn't much seating. I only saw a few tables and chairs set up. As far as food they had a nice selection to choose from. I had a great empanada from Empanada Monster, some boardwalk fries, and your traditional twist soft ice cream cone. They also had the Cousins Maine Lobster Truck, and the Thai Food Addict Truck. I thought the prices were very reasonable. They were even selling cans of soda and water for $1.00 They also had a DJ to provide some entertainment and a bouncy house for the kids as well as some games to play. Very nice street fair...

    Ever since I was little, my parents would take me out to the fairs, particularly the ones in…read moreCranford and Westfield since we obviously lived close-by to these areas. We go to these events every year to see what was being exhibited. The bigger size of the fair, the better, since there would be a lot on display for the visitors to see and possibly buy. We were always fond of the fairs in Cranford and Westfield because of it's sizes, and this year, this fair is still big, thus giving me the chance to see a lot on display. This fair was located in the heart of downtown Cranford. Various food vendors were available, selling different kinds of meals and snacks, particularly fried foods. Other vendors were selling crafts that they made, like candles and tiny picnic tables which were meant to hold salt and pepper shakers. More vendors also sold classic toys and sports memorabilia. There were also different organizations and companies onsite for distribution of various services (like Vivint and FIOS). Some of the tables from those organizations had little "Wheel Of Fortune" games for the kids. I certainly remember playing those games when I was a little boy in the 90s at the fairs. Overall, I'd say all of that was interesting. If that wasn't enough, there were some classic cars on display on one little side street. There actually wasn't that much, but it was enough for me to look and enjoy what was being shown. Who doesn't like looking at old, classic cars? If I had a favorite out of what I saw, I'd say it was the Porsche. I didn't recall seeing those cars at the Garwood event a few months ago. As I walked around, I got overwhelmed by the smell of the oil that was used for the fried foods. I wasn't amused by that. That also left me wondering whether or not the oil was replaced recently prior to the actual frying procedures. The smells were obviously not too far from the booths where the actual frying was taking place. The big size of the fairs in Cranford will always make me a fan! :D
