The Riverwalk Market Fair will be going between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., so you can shop for fresh produce, sample delicious pastries and purchase local art while enjoying the live music. Bring sunscreen, a lawn chair, and some cash or a credit card. Although the concerts are free, the goal of the event is to raise money and to generate excitement about next year’s big four-day festival, set for July 28-31, 2016. Please give what you can. With your financial support, we can make the 2016 event the best yet!
Some of the bands appearing this Saturday played at last year’s mini event, and some are new to the VBF. Visit the Vintage Band Festival website for the latest details about participating bands and concert times. You can also read this recent Northfield News article to learn more about the festival.
In addition to the concerts in Bridge Square, you can hear bands at a few other locations during the afternoon and evening. One performance that should be especially moving is the 34th Infantry Division “Red Bull” Band’s 4:30 p.m concert in the Northfield Cemetery. This is the first year that the Red Bulls have joined us, and they are performing in several different configurations, including as the Red Devils Rock Band at the Contented Cow Pub from 8-10 p.m.
If you are interested in volunteering on Saturday, we are still looking for people to help move chairs and stands between concerts. We could also use help at the end of the day, putting away chairs and taking down street barricades. For more information, email vintagebandfestival@gmail.com or call 507-321-1250.
