Creativity Ignites at SOMA Night Lights in Wilkes-Barre

The heart of Wilkes-Barre’s SOMA Arts District pulsed with color and energy during the one-of-a-kind SOMA Night Lights event. Hosted by Diamond City Partnership and Sordoni Art Gallery, this free, family-friendly night brought creativity to a whole new level in the city.

From video-mapped projections that transformed buildings into vibrant, living art to mesmerizing creations from Keystone College‘s mobile glass blowing studio, there was no shortage of entertainment.

The Rusty Iris stole the show — a double-decker bus turned rolling sculpture, thumping with music and setting the night ablaze with fire performances that lit up the street.

It was a night to remember and proof that Wilkes-Barre is putting free entertainment on the map, showing just how much NEPA has to offer.
