Reviving an old tradition. Beginning a new one! This Music Festival, a revival of a tradition started in the early days of Waterman, was held on August 9, 2003, down by the riverside in Apalachin, NY. The plan is to make this an annual summer event, learn more at the Waterman Center Website.

Some of the finest musicians in the Southern Tier and beyond treated Old Tyme,
Bluegrass, and Folk music fans to a great afternoon.
