OnionFest Rocks Downtown Clarence
The First Annual Onion
Fest, organized by new Clarence business owner, Steve Sparbel, took live music in downtown Clarence to a new level.
Held Saturday, July 27, the day kicked off with festivities early, but really got going in the early evening as people came out to enjoy the great music and community camaraderie.
The day featured the
music of three bands, Busted, Downside and nationally touring, Lipstick Slick.
Many thanks to Steve and Onion Grove Bar and Grill for a great day for downtown Clarence!
