WILKES-BARRE – Sunny skies and warm temperatures greeted guests of the Fine Arts Fiesta on Public Square on Saturday.

Temperatures reached into the 70s as visitors browsed vendors, checked out art and enjoyed the many food offerings available at the annual event, which began Thursday and concludes Sunday.

Headline performer Lucky Chops thrilled the crowd Saturday evening with its high-energy brassy funk.

Area residents have one more chance to check out the Fiesta. The Fiesta runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. The forecast calls for temperatures in the 70s again with a chance of thunderstorms developing later in the day.
