Here is what you can expect at this summer's Salute to the 4th celebration
Local Sports and The Shift will perform at this year's Salute to the 4th event at Silver Lake Park, organizers announced today.
Now in its fourth year, Salute to the 4th is Rochester's largest all-ages Independence Day celebration. In addition to music, the afternoon lineup includes food trucks, a youth sports camp, a car/truck/motorcycle show, and a skate and BMX contest.
““It’s the perfect opportunity to bring your family into a community celebration and connect with others from this amazing city.””
The festival caps off with the annual fireworks display, followed by an electric after-party featuring Apollo Music Group's Gavin Boss.
