Dreamland will bring three new rides to Harborfest this year, including The Wheel, a Ferris wheel that rises 110 feet into the air. It will offer riders an unparalleled view of Oswego, the harbor and Lake Ontario. Solo riders must be 56 inches tall. Children may ride with a ticketed adult. Also new this year are two rides for young thrill-seekers, Aladdin and Monster Trucks. Most rides are for children 36 inches or taller. A few rides are available for children 30 inches tall and above.
Harborfest returns Thursday, July 27 – Sunday, July 30 with top national and regional acts on its stages, the annual Children’s Parade and performers for young people on a special stage in Breitbeck Park, great food, crafts and carnival rides and, of course, Central New York’s biggest and best fireworks show, synched to music. The entire festival is free to attend.
A diverse slate of nearly 30 regional artists and bands will perform on stages at Breitbeck Park, East Park and River Walk West. The Children’s Area returns to Breitbeck with crafts, activities and performances. The Dreamland Amusements Midway will set up again in front of the Coast Guard station on Lake Street.
