On Saturday, September 16th from 1 – 5pm, Astoria Park Alliance will bring its signature Shore Fest event back to Astoria Park. The event festivities will take place on the Main Lawn adjacent to the Bocce Court off Shore Boulevard

Live music will be performed on a main stage procured by The Alliance with a rotating set of local musicians from 1 – 5 pm. Among the confirmed acts, Astoria newcomer Ithalia Johnson will deliver her soothing rhythmic wave of folk, rock and soul, while Astoria veterans The East River Blues Band performs American classics.

Shore Fest promises to bring fun for all ages with classic competitions like potato sack races, egg on a spoon and bean bag toss. Local Astoria retailers have donated generous gift prizes for Shore Fest participants.

Shore Fest will also be a place to learn a new skill or hobby like bocce, yoga, zumba, ukulele, and even improv acting. Kids will be encouraged to jump around inside a giant bounce house, get their faces painted and enjoy assorted arts and crafts activities on the main lawn.
