SUPPORT SEAWAY FESTIVAL
When you think July in the âBurg, there is one event that comes to mind - the Ogdensburg International Seaway Festival.
The 60th edition of the Seaway Festival will soon be upon us and organizers are committed to making this one to remember, especially after being unable to hold a single event last year to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In fact, the theme of this yearâs festival is âLetâs Beat The COVID Blues!â A fitting theme for everyone in 2021.
Seaway Festival is a special time for Ogdensburg.
I never understood it until I started covering the festival for The Journal many years ago. You would talk to people who had been going for decades and ask them why they go and the responses would vary. In some way or another the answer would be itâs a chance for family and friends to get together, to reunite.
