Oswego County’s largest provider of primary care health services is joining the Harborfest family, as ConnextCare will sponsor the festival’s EMT Tents this year. ConnextCare’s contribution will support the provision of care at first aid comfort stations staffed by trained and licensed emergency medical technicians at Breitbeck Park and the Midway.
“We’re very excited to have ConnextCare as part of Harborfest’s family of major supporters. ConnextCare has become a major force in health, mental health and dental care in Oswego County and we are proud to help present them to a wider audience,” said Dan Harrington, Harborfest Executive Director.
“ConnextCare is thrilled to partner with Harborfest as the 2024 official healthcare sponsor,” said Tricia Peter-Clark, ConnextCare’s President and CEO. “ConnextCare is making significant investments in the City of Oswego, with the most recent opening of a School Based Program at Frederick Leighton Elementary, followed by plans to move our current Oswego practice downtown, so now is the perfect time for us to step up and more broadly demonstrate our commitment to the Oswego community by sponsoring such a wonderful annual event!”
Harborfest returns July 25 – 28, 2024 with the food, music, fun and fireworks that has drawn families and friends together along the Lake Ontario shore to make unforgettable memories. The free-to-attend festival’s signature event is its spectacular fireworks show over the lake while its stages feature top national and regional performers. The annual Harborfest Children’s Parade, Friday, July 26 is one of many family-friendly events for young people to enjoy with their parents. Great food, exciting rides and games and interesting artwork, crafts and products round out a festival that has been a destination since 1988.
