Festival will include live music, street food, and kids events
The Hornell Partners for Growth and its 260 plus business members are providing the third annual Maple City Festival on September 17th from Noon – 6:00 pm. We are taking over the downtown streets of Hornell once again turning Main Street & Broadway Mall into the place to be. The Business Improvement District is providing activities that are free to the community while having local schools, clubs, churches, fraternities, and non-profits volunteer to run some activities to raise money for their organizations. While most activities are free, donations are accepted and appreciated by these organizations.
Musical Performances by local bands will take place on our stage that is placed in front of City Hall on Main & Seneca Street where The Meat Cutters Union will play from Noon – 2:00 and Shylock Fox 3:00 – 6:00 PM.
Our Taste of the Valley area will set up on the City Hall side of Main Street where local restaurants and Food Trucks will be selling hometown favorites and delicious treats such as Cotton Candy, Popcorn, Candy Apples, Fried Dough and so much more. There will be tents and tables in the center of the street so that you can relax and enjoy the food and music. There are several restaurants in Hornell that you can grab food from and bring to the tents.
