It opened 4 days late, but the parties were big outside waiting. The bands played fom 6-6 at night. Chuck Berry played the first night from 2-5 & "It's a Beautiful Day" Played last on the morning of July 5th, after the best fireworks show the night before. I spent most of my days down at the river.
