“Our program and children’s committees have put together a great line up and variety of live music and programming for all ages,” said Harborfest executive director Tom Van Schaack. “People tend to take for granted that all the concerts, entertainment and programming are admission-free, which makes the support we receive from our sponsors all the more
appreciative.”

The parade route will begin at West Park in Oswego, travel north on West Fifth Street to Lake Street and conclude at Breitbeck Park.
