Just south of Canada, the quaint town of Waddington, NY, is bringing back its annual Waddington Summer Concert Series between July 5 and August 23. Acts in this series have entertained over 15,000 people in just the last five years, with 2024 marking the fifteenth overall year of the series in the beautiful pavilion at Island View Park.
About Waddington
Waddington, NY, is a small and close-knit community with a population of about 2,200 people. Known for some of the best sunsets in the North Country, Waddington is an idyllic destination for anybody in the area looking for a day-long getaway.
However, aside from the town’s walking trails, river-front beach, and annual carp fishing tournaments, the Waddington Summer Concert Series is one of the town’s biggest recreational outlets.
Going by the theme of “Music on the Shore – 2024” for this year’s series, the Waddington summer series is back for its 15th straight year. Moreover, like every year, Waddington summer series is free to the public. Similarly, all shows will run between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m., aside from three that have extended hours. Shows with unique hours are noted in the full-listed lineup.
Additionally performances will take place at the Island View Park pavilion, just next to the St. Lawrence River. If you’re lucky, you’ll catch one of the town’s famous sunsets while watching a show.
