Festival representatives said fans should expect changes this year, including a carnival and a better stage configuration. Among all this great Rockabilly, Doo Wop and Rhythm & Blues will also be clothing vendors and, back by popular demand, a huge car show featuring vintage hot rods.
"The festival is expanding this year," said an Oneida Casino spokesperson. "We're kicking it up a notch". There are more bands playing this year spread out day and night over four days, than ever before at the festival.
Fans gather each year to this festival event marking the beginning of summer. A very special Gracie fan says in the ticket line that "He's immortal. There's no age to him", as she bought her first level seats for all four days.
