Our estimated time of performance is approximately 1:50pm, but the stage will be rocking from 11AM to 6PM all day long! We are so happy to donate our time to the on going relief efforts benefitting those impacted by Hurricane Ida. Members of Phase 3 along with so many other locals are still dealing with the harsh effects of Ida. Half of Lambertville’s homes and businesses were damaged by the remnants of Hurricane Ida. Recovery is far from over for many people. Capitol Health and The Lambertville Chamber of Commerce plan to help by presenting the Lambertville Helping Hands Benefit Concert on October 9 and 10th. “It really is truly is exciting to me to see neighbors playing for neighbors,” said Bryan Schreck, music director for the festival. “Those that can chip in to literally help their friends, their families, their neighbors. This is Lambertville helping Lambertville.” Tickets are $35 in advance or $50 at the door. Advance tickets are available online at https://www.lambertvillechamber.com/helping-hands/

Festival-goers are encouraged to bring a picnic, but food will be available as well. Attendees will have an opportunity to support some businesses and organizations that were severely impacted by the flood. The American Legion, whose headquarters was destroyed, will be selling hot dogs and hamburgers to help fund their recovery, and Owowcow, which has yet to re-open their Lambertville location due to flood damage, will be on hand to sell their ice cream.

Lambertville Chamber Board Member Dina Finelli, who has been instrumental in organizing volunteers to provide help for flood victims and organizing the fundraiser said, “Our goal is to help rebuild a long-term, sustainable and resilient community. The Foundation meets this mission by developing and managing a comprehensive base of funds. These funds represent an expanding pool of charitable dollars, committed to meeting the needs of the people and businesses of the Lambertville, area including Stockton, directly impacted by Hurricane Ida.”
