LAKE GEORGE — Ronald McDonald House Charities have served families whose children are fighting serious illnesses in area hospitals for decades.  To expanding the facilities offered to families from out of town, a family retreat program began last year at Krantz Cottage, a four-bedroom home located in the village of Lake George. 

While the hospital can provide medical care and treatment for a child’s illness, the uncertainty and anxiety evoked by life-threatening illness can be difficult to dispel among family members, so  Krantz Cottage offers a beautiful, natural setting where families can spend time together away from the hospital. 

The three-day, eight band festival on Aug. 5-7 is designed to raise money and awareness about the role Krantz Cottage serves as a Ronald McDonald house for families.

Friday at the Lake on Aug. 5 kicks off the three-day festival with Skeeter Creek and Bluz House Rockers.  The festival gets underway at 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5. 

The concert schedule for Saturday, Aug. 6 gets underway at 3 p.m. and features The Dirty Harri’s, The Newells, and Reelin in the Years, and Jacquelin Mignot and the Family Band start things off at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, to be followed by Last Band Left, and New York Players.

Admission to Rockin’ for Ronald is free all three days, and there will be food and beverage vendors on site.
