BATAVIA — It’s that time of year again to eat some good food, listen to live music, stroll past several vintage automobiles and go for a run to raise money for a good cause.
Summer in the City is set for 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday throughout downtown. More than 45 food, craft, commercial and nonprofit vendors will be set up, along with some 350 classic cars and motorcycles.
The Ohms Band will play from 1 to 3 p.m. on the main stage, followed by In Plain View from 4 to 6 p.m. and Terry Buchwald’s altar ego Elvis Presley from 7 to 9 p.m.
A Kidz Zone will provide many fun activities for children and families throughout the day and the annual Don Carroll 5K Race & Walk will take off at 6:15 p.m.
All race proceeds help to make Christmas wishes come true for disadvantaged children. The entry fee includes a “Party Extravaganza!” which includes music, dancing, a chicken barbecue, turkey dogs, pizza, yogurt, fresh fruit, ice cold water and a beer coupon. Guests are $5.
