PITTSTON, Pa. — The Tomato Festival lot in the city was packed with people for the all-day event, which included more than 30 local vendors inside a heated tent along with food trucks, hot chocolate, and fresh hot popcorn.
Live performances continued throughout the night, as well as a toy truck parade and a tree-lighting ceremony. Admission for everyone was free.
"Last year it was pretty much the same they had the food trucks and everything. This year they had the heated tent which was nice if you have kids that are complaining about getting cold you could walk in there with them, so it wasn't bad it was nice, a good time," said Preston Kapalka, Pittston.
The tree will continue to be lit in the Tomato Festival lot throughout the holiday season in Luzerne County.
