VIDEO: Rockin' the Reservoir

On Saturday, June 4th, the East Haddam Town Beach set the stage for a day filled with music, games, food, a bonfire and fun for a great kick-off to the summer season. 

The annual Reservoir Rock Festival is tuned into the acknowledgement of music as a common language that permeates the East Haddam community. The festival, as stated in the program, "celebrates the binding force that youth music is in our town and gives a well-deserved stage to the youth in music."

The artists that performed, in order of appearance, included Zac Koval, Steve Borg, Dylan Moroch, Max Barbi & Kate Armstrong, Nadine Bransfield, Emily Barbi, Johnny Barbi, Will Palleria, Emily Betts, DRES, Will Meyers, Swiftkick, Heroes in Waiting, A Breakaway, Dylan Moroch Blues Band, SIMBA, Parabellum, Perpendicularum and the UCONN Rock Ensemble.

The festival was organized through a joint effort of the East Haddam Youth and Family Services and the East Haddam Parks and Recreation Department. The East Haddam Police and East Haddam Board of Selectmen were thanked for their support of the event.
