It’s the highlight of a weekend that also includes the final WaterFire festival and a lot of community theater.
WaterFire is the twice-a-year arts and entertainment event in downtown Sharon, Pa. It’s known for its singular and riveting ritual at dusk, during which braziers anchored to the surface of the Shenango River are set ablaze. The festival starts in the early afternoon and runs well past dark. Admission is free. Click HERE.
