CORNING, NY – July 18, 2019 – On August 15, 1969, the grooviest event in music history kicked off three days of peace, love and rock 'n' roll in upstate New York. 50 years later, America’s Crystal City to the south – Corning – is bringing back the feel-good vibes. RE:Stock, a 3-day tribute party August 15th to 17th, takes place in the heart of the downtown Gaffer district at the new outdoor dining and entertainment venue, Market Street Social. The free (no admission fee) event pays homage to the infamous counterculture fest by featuring 60’s-era music along with period dress, food, cocktails, contests, and more!
“We’re honoring the 50th anniversary of the festival that changed history with our own version of retro fun,” said Michele Donegan, General Manager, Radisson Hotel Corning/Market Street Social. “People are encouraged to come together at RE:Stock and celebrate the colorful hippie spirit in an open-air setting without all the mud!”
