ALLENTOWN, Pa. — The Gold Dust Woman is bringing some shimmer to the city this weekend.
Stevie Nicks has a show Saturday at PPL Center, and an array of activities have been planned.
The events were organized by the City of Allentown, Allentown Chamber of Commerce, City Center Group, Legacy Exhibitions and the Downtown Allentown Business Alliance.
Only "Platinum" seats for the PPL Center show, at $473 each, remained on sale on the PPL Center ticket site Wednesday.
Stevie Nicks Day, fashion exhibition
Break out the flowy, gypsy fabrics.
An exhibition featuring Nicks' stage costumes will open Friday at Two City Center, 645 Hamilton St.
To kick things off, Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk will attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon at the venue to proclaim "Steve Nicks Day" in the city.
It's unknown whether the "Edge of Seventeen" songstress, who is slated to perform at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony Friday, Nov. 3, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, will attend any of the Allentown events.
Nevertheless, the collection contains some of Nicks' ionic shawls, along with intimate portraits shot by photographer Richard Arias in 1978.
