Months of planning and preparation have paid off.
The Finger Lakes Country Music Festival will take place Saturday, June 4, at the Wayne County Fairgrounds in Palmyra, New York.
The first annual music festival will feature country music stars Lee Brice, Kameron Marlowe, and plenty of others.
It started as a business idea for Nick Welch, founder of the event planning entity who has brought the Finger Lakes Country Music Festival to life.
“When I first had the thought of creating an event, I knew it had to involve Country artists. The Finger Lakes Region has a huge country fan base,” Welch said of the music festival concept. “To see Lee Brice and other country performers come to Palmyra for a Festival rather than a typical concert at other local venues, it gives new excitement to Country fans to have a new event to attend with a new atmosphere.”
The event itself isn’t just going to be a big win for Welch or others who have been involved with it though.
“This event is huge for Palmyra, the County, and even our entire region,” Welch told FingerLakes1.com. “We have sold tickets from Ohio, Buffalo, the St Lawrence Area, Pennsylvania- all over. It’s great to see attendees coming from all over. This event is helping local nonprofit organizations such as the Palmyra Community Center, The Ryan Callahan Foundation, and Palmyra Rotary. 100% of the tips at the bars will be donated to these organizations. In addition, the local boy scouts will be selling food to raise money for their group.”
