The Family Friendly Event allows the public to stroll though the historic neighborhoods admiring some of Oswego’s earliest and grandest homes while listening to every type of music one can imagine. Solo acoustic folk to country, pop, rock and roll are featured along with large multi-person amplified bands. Each act performs for 1 hour and then the next act begins.
