On cue, and for its first public event since closing for a $1.2 million renovation, Delaware Park’s century-old Marcy Casino is preparing its patio and sparking the grill for the second annual Springfest at the Marcy on Sunday, May 4th (3-9pm, 199 Lincoln Pkwy, $10 advance/$15 door), featuring live music from the rousing reggae of The Rockaz, party pop-funk from Forealists, the return of curbside rockers Mohawk Street Saints, and breakbeats from DJ LoPro, whose closing set will include members of The Rockaz.

The hit food offering from the inaugural Springfest at the Marcy returns in the form of a taco bar featuring a suckling pig, grilled shrimp and chicken, and artisan sausages, along with a margarita bar sponsored by Jose Cuervo and an array of craft beers sponsored by Southern Tier Brewing Company. A percentage of all food and drink sales support Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy and its mission of “Connecting Parks and People.”
