The festival features a variety of local musicians with several styles and sounds. There will also be food, beverages, games, raffles, vendors, and additional music by DJ Marty. Chair lift rides will be available Saturday afternoon.
There will be two stages at the festival and more than 20 bands.
Proceeds from this years event will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
The festival began in Chaumont as a way to raise money for people who had experienced an unexpected loss.
Organizers say businesses helping to sponsor the festival include United Neighbors Federal Credit Union, Tunes 92.5, Big Apple Music, Davidson Automotive, LaBatts Blue, Party Rentals, S & M Motorsports, Busler Construction & Sanitation, Fulmer Plumbing, Lake Ontario Realty and Fourth Coast Entertainment.
