Interview with festival organizer
News10NBC spoke with festival organizer Darryl Walczak on Friday morning. He said they’re expecting 20,000 people to attend the festival, which takes a full year of planning. The festival started two decades ago because a friend of his had a daughter at Golisano Children’s Hospital. A group of friends wanted to find a way to support her. Now, she’s an adult and the festival continues to help children at Golisano.
“We wanted to do something different than a golf tournament. And so the idea of a music festival was born and a couple of decades later, we’re happy to say that this year we’re going to pass $3 million raised for Golisano Children’s Hospital,” Walczak said.
