The 2026 Scranton Fringe Festival kicked off on Thursday, October 1 and Friday, October 2 the only way it could this year: with light, color and story on the 1850s stone blast furnaces that helped build our city.

Fringe @ The Furnaces brought together artists, vendors, food, drinks and hundreds of neighbors at the Scranton Iron Furnaces. It was the closing event of Valley In Motion’s Fall at the Furnaces series, and the centerpiece was a 3D projection mapping show that turned the historic furnaces into a giant, living canvas.

If you missed it, or you were there and want to see it again, you can watch the full show below.

Thank you to Valley In Motion, the Anthracite Heritage Museum and everyone who came out to help us launch the Festival. Scranton Fringe is only getting started. The 2026 Scranton Fringe Festival runs through Saturday, October 10, with shows across downtown Scranton every day. See what’s on and get your tickets here https://scrantonfringe.org/events/
