About this concert
The third week in May for the last 67 years the annual Fine Arts Fiesta arts festival is held!
When Annette Evans with the assistance of Al Groh started the Fiesta so many years ago , it consisted of a handful of artists and performers with some even coming from New York City, Philadelphia and beyond.. Their idea was simply to bring fine visual and performing arts to the people who might not otherwise might not have an opportunity at hand to experience them.
Today, that simple idea has continued to expand and grow to include many professional artists, craftspersons, musicians, dancers, poets, theater artists and international talents.
Presenting also two juried visual art showcases including all works of media and photography by regional adult and student artists professionally presented.
Children are validly entertained for free with puppet shows, face painting, a strolling mime, music, a clown as well with many make and take opportunities, story telling and visits with Mother Goose.
Family members of all ages will enjoy an amazing culinary variety of food to satisfy every appetite with a sumptuous food court.
.Many local multi discipline performing arts organizations and groups are also given the opportunity to share their talents and expertise with the community on the main stage throughout the four days.
The Fine Arts Fiesta is the finest and the oldest arts festival in Pennsylvania. The Board of Directors works throughout the year to organize this major event and is a 501C3 Not For Profit.
Without the help and support of hundreds of volunteers, the city of Wilkes-Barre and Mayor George Brown, it would be impossible to present the Fine Arts Fiesta annually. The ongoing generosity of the many foundations, individual donors, in kind contributors and sponsors that support the mission and vision of bringing Fiesta to downtown Wilkes-Barre every year are to be commended and also supported.
The Fine Arts Fiesta is truly one of the best on going family events in Northeastern Pennsylvania! Since it’s humble beginnings there is never an admission fee and all entertainment, children’s activities, artist’s market, and exhibitions are free of charge.
The 2024 Fine Arts Fiesta: “ Peace of Art!” is May 16, 17, 18 and 19
See you there on Public Square, Wilkes- Barre Pennsylvania.

Uprooted feat. Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root Biography
The Uprooted Band featuring
Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root
Michael Glabicki, lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for Rusted Root, has always believed that music can change the world. So much so that 30 years ago, Glabicki dropped out of college to start a band. Having no idea where he was going or how to get there, he spent two years learning how to write songs, and create a vision. That vision grew into Rusted Root, the multiplatinum band out of Pittsburgh, and Michael became one of music’s most unique voices.
With Rusted Root currently on hiatus, Glabicki has created new and powerful ways to keep the spirit of the performance and music going forward. Rusted Root built their career around dramatic performances; their polyrhythmic, multicultural rock-and-soul picked up fans like a junkyard magnet as they swept across the nation on tour. Glabicki continues to keep this tradition alive through his new projects; The Uprooted Band and The Duo Show with Dirk Miller.
The Uprooted Band Featuring Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root
Michael has been devoting his time to creating an entirely new soundscape. This band promises to bring back parts of the Rusted Root of old, but also include more percussion and female vocals. Uprooted is a liberating project for Glabicki. He says that the “decision to do (Uprooted) was liberating in a sense that I could really look at where I was in my own individual path and express where I wanted to go.” The Uprooted Tour will focus on the energy and excitement Rusted Root brought to all of their fans, and keep the spirit of the music moving forward.
This year, the band will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of Rusted Root’s platinum selling album, When I Woke, which contains the hit single Send Me On My Way, by performing the album in its entirety at their shows, along with some new material any Rusted Root fan will certainly appreciate. New music will also be released in the form of an EP leading into 2020.
Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root with Dirk Miller Duo Show
In addition to the full band, Glabicki strips down to the bare essentials on a duo tour, where he and long-time bandmate Dirk Miller take the old Rusted Root favorites along with new material and perform re-envisioned versions of them in a more up close and intimate setting.
“We go into the crevices of the songs and expand them out and really just open up the music to whatever happens in the moment,” Glabicki says of his shows with Miller. “It’s completely improvisational, to the point where we surprise ourselves a lot. Things start to happen, and I start laughing. It’s like we’ve never heard it sound like that before. We have a great time with it, just as much as the audience is.”
A multifaceted musician, producer and songwriter, Glabicki’s talents are unique and extremely uplifting. His new projects and music are extensions of his creative talent, and will inspire all those who participate. Tour dates and additional information can be found on Glabicki’s website and social platforms.
