There will once again be live music by the Irish Cement Band sponsored by the City of Corning. There's always an exciting Kids' Zone featuring a bounce house sponsored by the City of Corning and staffed by the folks from New Life and a "make it 'n take it" craft offered by the Corning Senior Center. Several downtown businesses will be staying open late during the Market, as well.
