Doors open at 1:30 PM / Show begins at 2:00 PM

Victoria Theatre (222 Main St, Blossburg, PA)

Free and open to the public (First come, first seated)
We’re thrilled to welcome folk musician, educator, and former coal miner Van Wagner to the historic Victoria Theatre in Blossburg!
Van’s songs and stories will honor the miners who helped shape the region and reflect on the work ahead to restore the Tioga River.
This family-friendly concert is the final event in Rivers, Coal & Crafts, a hands-on series of events coordinated by the Northcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy, Blossburg Memorial Library, and the Tioga County Conservation District.
Through workshops, crafts, and storytelling, participants of all ages have explored the area’s mining history, the decades-long impacts of abandoned mine drainage (AMD), and how local partnerships are working together to restore the Tioga River and its surrounding landscape.
This FREE event is possible thanks to support from the Susquehanna River Basin Commission, the Jones Foundation, and the Friends of the Blossburg Memorial Library.
