The unofficial end of summer becomes another reason to celebrate Letchworth State Park, the “Grand Canyon of the East.”
The annual Summer Farewell Festival takes place on Sunday, September 3 and offers an array of activities for all ages, music galore and a grand fireworks display to end the day with a bang.
This year’s festival will begin at 3 p.m. at the Highbanks Recreation Area, just inside the Mount Morris entrance. “The Twang Gang” takes the stage at 3 p.m. featuring classic country, swing and rockabilly. “Smokin’ Gun” follows at 6:30 p.m. and offers a dynamic country and Southern Rock variety show.
Clowns will entertain from 5 to 8 p.m., there will be a juggling show from 4 to 7 p.m. featuring a juggler’s workshop and animal presentations by the Wildlife Educators Coalition will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. Capping off the day is the fireworks display which kicks off at 9:30 p.m.
Bring the family and enjoy the unofficial end of summer at the park recently voted the best state park in the nation by a USA TODAY Readers’ Choice poll. Admission to the show is included with the $10 per car park entrance fee. Concessions will be available.
