Cirque du Soul: Artists for a Cure
Scranton Cultural Center
7:00 PM – Midnight
Accepting donated works for the silent auction.
This inaugural event features live music, magicians, custom motorcycles, belly dancers and a body painting competition featuring local tattoo artists…and more! Sort of a modern day tribute to vaudeville.
We like to refer to it as ‘black tie with no sleeves required’.
