MASSENA -- Spring "Fever" Fest, a ten-day community celebration, is ready to roll May 1 through May 10.
The festival kicks off with town-wide promotions, including a collaborative gift card giveaway coordinated by Simplicity Boutique and participating locations, including Mystic Rays Tanning Salon and Peets Jewelers. Simultaneously, Hardy’s Kitchen & Bake Co. will launch a social media photography contest celebrating spring landmarks throughout the village.
The first weekend of the festival features the 2nd Annual Dueling Pianos event on May 2 at Cedar View Golf Club. Also on Saturday, Alkies Taproom will host a family-friendly Cinco de Mayo celebration featuring an outdoor craft area for children to make necklaces, receive temporary tattoos, and enjoy a dedicated photo area.
On May 9, the focus shifts to youth and family activities at Alcoa Park with the Massena Spring Olympics, featuring classic field events and a torch-lighting ceremony. The park will also play host to a 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament organized by Fahrenheit, providing a competitive outlet for local athletes.
History enthusiasts can also attend a special screening at the Seaway Visitor Center on May 9 at 1 p.m. The presentation will feature a WPBS episode exploring Massena's royal connections, specifically Queen Elizabeth II’s 1959 visit to the Eisenhower Lock. Special discounts for Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8) and Mother’s Day will be offered throughout the week at Esther’s Coffee House.
