Press release:

The Bergen Business & Civic Association (BBCA) announces the 20th Annual Bergen Park Festival and Parade on Saturday June 13. Events begin at 11 a.m. and conclude with a fireworks show after dark.

“For the last 20 years the Bergen Park Festival has been a tremendous family-fun event," said BBCA President Anne Sapienza. “I encourage everyone to stop at the park...and enjoy the festivities."

The festival opens  with the “Classic Car Show” and at noon the kick-off parade begins at the Fire Hall. The festival includes multiple craft vendors, pony rides, kids' activities, food vendors and live music all day in the park. Clor’s will be catering a pulled-pork BBQ dinner beginning at 4 p.m. and tickets will be on sale at the Main Tent.

Back by popular demand is Bossy Bingo sponsored by the Bergen Grange. The biggest crowd pleaser, this game appeals to the big gamblers and good sports.

Live entertainment will include the Panloco Steel Drum Band, sponsored by the Byron-Bergen Public Library, at 2 p.m. and our local John Cummings 00’ graduate of Byron-Bergen High School will be performing with his band “Something Else” between 6-10 p.m.. Following the music will be a magnificent fireworks display, so don’t forget to bring your lawn chair and come join the fun. For more details please call the town clerk.
