The City of Plattsburgh and Y106.3 team up again for Independence Day – Deadline for performers fast approaching
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – The City of Plattsburgh and Y106.3 are pleased to announce that they will once again be working together for the city’s Independence Day Celebration.
In early 2011, Mayor Kasprzak and Ted Morgan, owner and operator of Plattsburgh’s Y106.3, began collaborating on the idea of increasing the scope of Plattsburgh’s July 4th festivities. Y106.3 offered to provide a free concert on Independence Day without accruing any additional expense to the taxpayers.
As planning began, the concept further developed into creating a festival-style atmosphere in the heart of downtown Plattsburgh. The day’s activities included live music from two different stages, dance performances, vendors and more.
Coming off a successful first year event, Y106.3 is excited to be able to continue the relationship with the City of Plattsburgh and further grow this event for its second year. Planning is underway for this year’s event. The city’s annual parade will kick off the 2012 celebration. This year’s parade theme is: “Local History.” Those interested in entering the parade should contact the Mayor’s Office at 518-563-7701.
Following the parade, live music and entertainment will begin in Trinity Park. The headlining performance of the evening will tentatively take to the Lion’s Club Bandshell at 7pm and continue up through the start of the City’s firework display at approximately 9:20pm. Y106.3 is currently working on the 2012 entertainment lineup. If you are interested in performing at this year’s celebration should visit: www.Y1063i.com/July4. Spots are limited and subject to station approval. Deadline to submit your bid for consideration is Thursday, April 12, 2012. All events provided by The City of Plattsburgh and Y106.3 on July 4, 2012 will be free and open to the public.
