You can play Life Size Games such as Chess or Connect 4 or try out some classic tabletop games. This will be located between Water Street and Main Avenue and is a great spot for fun for all ages!

The River Festivities will start at 8:30 pm with a Native American Blessing by Leon Sam Briggs, an enrolled Tonawanda Seneca and an ordained spiritual leader of the American Metis Aboriginal Association.
