What a day at the Massena Town Beach!
Rockin’ The River: We Salute You was another great success, bringing a full afternoon and evening of live music, food, vendors and family activities to the St. Lawrence River.
Scumyard got the day started, Gypsy Road kept the crowd going and Bonfire – The AC/DC Tribute closed out the evening with another great performance. Between the music, food and beverage trucks, local artisans, community organizations and kids activities, there was plenty happening throughout the beach.
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who came out and spent the day with us. Seeing the Town Beach filled with people enjoying themselves is what makes all the work behind this event worthwhile. We have already received a lot of positive feedback, and we appreciate everyone who took the time to share their experience.
