On Friday night, RDNA is taking the stage from 7-11 p.m.
Township officials say this version of the event has been taking place for more than a decade, but its roots date back to the 1960s as the Mineral Ridge Fireman's Festival.
'It's kind of our unofficial start to summer here in Weathersfield,' Trustee Ed Whittaker said. 'I think a lot of families look forward to it, as realizing it's always the beginning of June, it's usually something to look forward to. It's a great community and family event.'
The three-day festival concludes Saturday with a day filled with festivities. It kicks off with the Rumble in the Ridge Car Show and Addison Beard Scholarship Color Run at 10 a.m. Old Skool Band will wrap up the festival from 7-11 p.m.
