NEPA Live Music List: May 16 to May 19

The outdoor patios are opening, summertime concerts are returning, and you just can't go wrong with the music lineup in NEPA.

From the Fine Arts Fiesta to brewery grand openings, we scoured all the event listings we could find to concoct a run-down of all the best shows happening in town this weekend, from Thirsty Thursday to Sunday Funday.

All venues/events listed in no particular order.

This week's cover photo : Elephants Dancing headlines Friday night at the Fine Arts Fiesta in Downtown Wilkes-Barre. This high-energy six-piece band out of NEPA combines influences of reggae, ska, punk, and hip-hop to boast their own fun blend of original music.
