Patchtown Days

Celebrate the heritage of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s anthracite communities at Eckley’s 34th annual Patchtown Days!

Alta Pizzeria & Pasta House and Eat Up Now food trucks will be cooking up regional cuisine, and Conyngham Brewing Company will be on hand to wet your whistle. It’s a coalcracker spectacular you won’t want to miss.
