ENTERTAINMENT: Party in the Park leaves High Falls

Party in the Park will not take place at the High Falls Festival Site this year, according to Lorie Lachiusa Barnum, the city's director of cultural affairs. A Rochester Gas & Electric hydro power project slated to begin in the High Falls gorge in May has bounced the free concert series to a new, yet-to-be-determined location.

That new venue won't be the recently renovated Manhattan Square Park, which previously housed the series. "Our event outgrew it," Barnum says of the downtown location. "The size of the crowd and the size of the stage needed for our level of acts."

The city is negotiating a new site for the 2008 season, which will run July 5-August 7, and plans to announce more details soon.
