In Kirkside Park
Main Street
Roxbury NY
FREE!
Have a blast in Roxbury this Labor Day Weekend! The Roxbury Arts Group, together with the Town of Roxbury, the MARK Project, the Roxbury Fire Department and the Greater Roxbury Business Association is organizing a free community event in Kirkside Park in lovely downtown Roxbury. Bring your own picnic or pick up a picnic dinner from any one of Roxbury’s fine eateries and spend a day in Roxbury!
The festivities begin at 4:00 PM with walking tours of the Historic District. Roxbury’s Historic District has over eighty buildings and sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places – superb Victorian homes, located right on Main Street, make Roxbury one of the most beautiful towns in the region.
Then the party moves to Kirkside Park at 6:00 PM with a performance by the Spectacular Average Boys. A folk band that rocks or a rock band with their grandfathers’ instruments. Either way you can count on traditional folk songs getting updated treatments for a modern generation along with their original songs filled with poignant lyrics and a whole lot of foot stomping, capturing life in Upstate NY. The Spectacular Average Boys are Ned Brower on lead vocals, banjo and guitar; Joel Shue on bass and vocals; Justin Ploutz on guitar and vocals; and Jeff Landry on drums and vocals.
Fireworks will light up the sky at 8:30 PM.
