The Village of Oswego is excited to announce its 2022 summer event series presented by Allied First Bank at Venue 1012. The outdoor entertainment venue, which opened in 2021 at 1012 Station Drive near Orchard Road, will host a combination of 17 ticketed and free events.
The season is loaded with opportunities to sing, dance, sip, eat and unwind with family and friends of all ages in Oswego?s own backyard.
