“With the bridge out, the programming committee wanted to provide an opportunity for people to know what they wanted to see and hear, and where they would need to travel in advance of the festival to help them plan their travel route,†said Chuck Handley, chair of the Programming Committee. “It also provides an opportunity for people to get into the Caribbean spirit, as the Caribbean is the cultural component of the festival this year.â€ÂÂ
Slated for July 24 – 27, the 2008 edition of Harborfest will feature plenty of food, fun and entertainment as venues on both Oswego’s east and west sides will be used to deliver the excitement.
A wide variety of entertainment will be featured on stages throughout the city of Oswego including, the NRG Family Stage in East Park, the Budweiser Rock Stage on East Second Street, and the Labatt Lakeview Stage in Breitbeck Park.
