The last weekend of July the folks at Olcott Beach (near Buffalo and
Niagara Falls, New York) will be holding a crank organ gathering.

On Saturday and Sunday, 26-27 July 2025, between noon and 5 pm, we will
be organ grinding on Main Street and other spots where many people from
Western New York State and Ontario, Canada, come to stroll and shop and
enjoy the small amusement park with merry-go-round, band organ, kiddie
rides and magic show and usually a car show Saturday evening.

Saturday evening at 6:15 pm there is dinner at Olcott Beach Carousel
Park. Sunday afternoon there will be a structured concert at the
Main St. Gazebo between 2 to 4 pm.

Olcott events always attract a large number of small organs --
possibly the best in North America -- including everything from
barrel instruments through MIDI. Everyone is welcome to bring
hand-cranked organs and related instruments. No club membership
is required. There is no registration fee, although the hosts will
request information for a head count before the event.
