Ramsey Day set for September 7
Ramsey Day will be held Saturday, Sept. 7. Each year,
this town-wide celebration draws hundreds of visitors
from Ramsey and beyond. Many visitors bring their entire
families, as there are activities and events for people of all
ages. Plans for this year’s Ramsey Day are still being final-
ized, but are expected to include music, food, and enter-
tainment for the entire family, including music by a Bruce
Springsteen tribute band.
Ramsey Day also allows members of the community to
visit a variety of informational booths and learn more about
the borough as they mingle with friends and neighbors, and
just have fun.
The entertainment options also offer something for
everyone. In prior years, Ramsey Day organizers have
brought in rock and R&B performers, jugglers, balloon art-
ists, dancers, a magician, music for children, and an amaz-
ing show featuring live animals. Ramsey Day traditionally
concludes with a performance by the Ramsey Wind Sym-
phony. In the event of rain, Ramsey Day will be held on Sunday,
Sept. 8.
