OSWEGO – Harborfest 2024 will make use of the new Cahill Pier at Wright’s Landing Marina, moving a key music stage to the new park. Music that took place at Veterans Memorial Park will now take place at Cahill Pier. The move takes full advantage of a beautiful new venue which is adjacent to the festival’s main programming area at Breitbeck Park and to the Midway at Wright’s Landing. The festival runs from Thursday, July 25 to Sunday, July 28. All of the festival’s programming is free of charge.

 

“This change makes it much more convenient for people to enjoy our great entertainment and for our volunteers to manage. The new Cahill Pier juts out into the harbor, bringing people as close as possible to Lake Ontario and creating beautifully scenic views. We believe this will enhance the Harborfest experience for everyone,” said Dan Harrington, Harborfest Executive Director.

 

The schedule for the stage includes:

 

Friday, July 26:

  • 1:30 PM: Brothers of the Gray Bus

  • 3:45 PM: ColdFront

  • 6:00 PM: The Luber Cators

 

Saturday, July 27:

 

  • 12:30 PM: Long Time Coming

  • 2:15  PM: Connecticut Casual

  • 4:00  PM: Mr. Monkey

  • 5:45 PM: Soul Mine

 

C’s Farm Market sponsors the Cahill Pier Stage, while Community Bank, N.A. supports the musical programming.

 

Harborfest returns July 25 – 28, 2024 with the food, music, fun and fireworks that has drawn families and friends together along the Lake Ontario shore to make unforgettable memories. The free-to-attend festival’s signature event is its spectacular fireworks show over the lake while its stages feature top national and regional performers. The annual Harborfest Children’s Parade, Friday, July 26 is one of many family-friendly events for young people to enjoy with their parents. Great food, exciting rides and games and interesting artwork, crafts and products round out a festival that has been a destination since 1988.
