Jessup Celebrates Italian Heritage Continuing with the Heritage Valley Station Stops program begun several years ago, the Steamtown National Historic Site will be running a diesel-powered excursion to the borough of Jessup, PA for participation in “La Festa dei Ceri,” on Saturday, May 27. This will be the first time a Steamtown train has run to the annual ethnic fair, which encompasses most of Jessup and its streets. Due to most activities taking place in the early evening, the train will leave the Steamtown boarding platform in downtown Scranton at 3:30 p.m. Return to Scranton is approximately 9:15 p.m. On the leisurely trip to Jessup, passengers will be serenaded by authentic costumed Italian singers and children and learn about the fascinating history of “La Festa dei Ceri” and how Jessup became the sister city to Gubbio, Italy.

Among the highlights of the fest, in both Gubbio and Jessup, is the Race of the Saints. Carnival rides, artwork, ethnic gourmet food, wine tasting and historic town tours are available in Jessup for the guests traveling on the Steamtown train.
