SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A weekend celebration of jazz music is winding down on Sunday in northeastern Pennsylvania. The final day of the Scranton Jazz Festival kicked off with jazz brunches.
The duo Robert Prester and Adriana Samargia performed at Carmen's 2.0 at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel.
It was one of six downtown venues offering jazz performances for the brunch crowd. Some consider the jazz brunch one of the best parts of the festival.

"We've been coming all 20 years for the brunch and obviously the jazz festival. I compliment the jazz festival and the committee. They work so hard and they organize everything to put together a beautiful weekend that we can all enjoy," Jessup resident Larry Spegar told 28/22 News.
"I mean our Facebook, our Instagram feeds we're getting messages constantly are getting messages constantly of how much they enjoyed the music, of how alive the city feels," Scranton Jazz Festival Executive Director Sarah Effertz said.
The Scranton Jazz Festival wraps up Sunday night at the Scranton Cultural Center with a performance by the SJF Big Band.
