WishFest presented by Montgomery County NY and Lorenzo's Southside is a community music festival started Seven years ago with a mission to make a difference in the community. It has grown from its humble beginnings into a major fundraiser for Capital Region Giving Tree, an organization of passionate local community members united to fill the unmet needs of neighbors who have nowhere else to turn. The money we raise will be distributed to several organizations specially selected by local children. You can find more information about these organizations on this page!
This year, Wish Fest will kick off at 1pm, Saturday, Oct 12, at Bridge St in Amsterdam. The stage will be hosted by Brian and Chrissy from 107.7 WGNA and Alyssa Caroprese from CBS 6 and feature musical acts David J, Still Remains, Kobie G, Ryan Carmello, and Tim Barr. There will be plenty of food & drink, activities for all ages, a spectacular fireworks celebration at dusk, and a VIP after party at Lorenzos.
Amsterdam's beautiful Bridge St is located on the banks of the Mohawk River. There is plenty of room to walk, or set up your lawn chair and blankets for a great day for a great cause.
FREE PARKING is available at 25 Bridge St. (off Route 30, just off Exit 27 of the New York State Thruway), a very short, scenic walk from the event. (Golf Cart accommodations will be made for those needing assistance.)
BOATERS: There is a dock with electric hookups right at the park! Just pull up, tie up and kick back!
Every dollar matters, every dream matters. YOU matter. We hope to see you Saturday Oct 12th ... at WishFest!
