| About top |
The Rec Park Music Fest is looking forward to its thirteenth year of providing
music and fun for all ages in Binghamton's Recreation
Park nestled between Beethoven and Seminary streets. The event started
small in 1996 when Jim Reyen (then bassist for Rhythm Gypsys) pulled together
a group of musician friends to play at the park. On just a small budget,
support from the city, fellow musicians and food vendors, the event was
an instant hit. In its second year the Binghamton Summer 
Music Festival took the event under its wing and its been a flying success
ever since! Nestled below some huge oaks, the historic carousel running
in the background, kids playing on the playground and some of the areas
finest musicians performing in the Greek Revival rotunda made famous by
Rod Sterling, you'll enjoy every relaxing minute of this family outing.
