Canandaigua, NY (August 11, 2020) - The Producers of the Rochester Lilac Festival, Party in the Park and many other events in Rochester, NY, are pleased to work with Roseland Waterpark in Canandaigua, to continue their existing drive-in entertainment this summer.

There will be an opportunity to purchase food from NY Kitchen and FLX BBQ online prior to and at the show to be delivered to their car.

ABOUT THE BANDS:
Almost Queen: August 22nd - THE most authentic QUEEN live show since the days of QUEEN themselves. A deliberate four piece band, Almost Queen delivers a live performance showcasing signature four part harmonies and intricate musical interludes. Donning genuine costumes, Almost Queen recaptures the live energy and precision that is the ultimate Queen experience.
Dark Star Orchestra: September 4th - Using entire shows from the Grateful Dead's massive catalogue from 30 years of touring, DSO recreates the original song-for-song set list for an entirely new generation of Deadheads. Dark Star Orchestra presents its critically-acclaimed live show at esteemed venues coast to coast and internationally. Touring nationwide for over two decades, with more than 2600 shows in the rear view mirror, the band's steadfast commitment to "raising the Dead" has drawn national media attention and a huge "deadicated" fan base.
G. Love & Special Friends: September 5th -Born Garrett Dutton in Philadelphia,PA, G. Love grew up equally enthralled with folk, blues, and rap, devouring everything from Lead Belly and Run D.M.C. to John Hammond and the Beastie Boys. After migrating to Boston, he and his band, Special Sauce, broke out in 1994 with their Gold-selling self-titled debut, which earned widespread critical acclaim for its bold vision and adventurous production. Over the next twenty-five years, G. Love would go on to release seven more similarly lauded studio studios albums with Special Sauce (plus four solo albums on his own), solidifying his place in music history as a genre-bending pioneer with a sound The New York Times described as "a new and urgent hybrid" and NPR called a "musical melting pot." G. Love's magnetic stage presence, meanwhile, made him a fixture on festival lineups from Bonnaroo to Lollapalooza, and his relentless appetite for tour and collaboration landed him on the road and in the studio with artists as diverse as Lucinda Williams, Dave Matthews, The Avett Brothers, Jack Johnson, and DJ Logic.
