Rochester, New York – On Saturday, “Some Ska Band” took the stage at Fairport Brewing Company.
It was day two of the Fairport Music Festival.
In addition to the thirty-plus bands that provide non-stop entertainment for this one-day, two-night show, the event includes children’s activities, games, crafts, and festival foods provided by many area food trucks and vendors.
100% of the proceeds are donated to Golisano’s Children’s Hospital at Strong and everyone involved in producing the event does so on a volunteer basis.
The Festival was back Sunday from 1-5:30 p.m.
