The fourth installment of St. Mary’s Hospital Presents Wish Fest, the community/music festival in Amsterdam to benefit Make-A-Wish Northeast New York, will be held July 10 at a new venue, Riverlink Park, and will be headlined by local recording artists Madison VanDenburg and David J.
The Rock Junkies and the X-Squad Water Ski Show Team will also perform.
The festival, which kicks off at 2 p.m. that Saturday, will also feature a variety of food, drink and attractions suitable for all ages. The day will be capped by a fireworks show.
The festival, like all Make-A-Wish Northeast New York-related events, will follow all public health guidelines, including capacity. For updates, go to the Wish Fest Facebook or Instagram pages, or wishfestneny.org.
Bridge Street and then Shuttleworth Park hosted the event its first two years, while the 2020 Wish Fest was virtual.
“The Amsterdam community and beyond has really responded to Wish Fest and our efforts to help create wishes for children with critical illnesses,” organizer Ray Gawlak said. “People are looking forward to a safe, fun-filled day of outdoor music and activities.:”
