South Queens, NY - Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar (D-AD 38) is proud to present the Fourth Annual Queens Rockfest. The brainchild of Queens musician George Wasek, Queens Rockfest is a celebration of the finest musical artists whose careers began in the World’s Borough. This year’s event will be Saturday, July 9 from 10am to 8pm at the Forest Park Bandshell in Woodhaven. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit queensrockfest.com.

By sponsoring this event, Assemblywoman Rajkumar continues her record of supporting the arts in Queens. She has previously sponsored the Pizza Dance Foundation Festival, co-sponsored the Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Celebration, and most notably transformed her office into an art gallery showcasing the work of local artists. Assemblywoman Rajkumar and event partners look forward to another successful event.

“Queens is the cultural epicenter of New York,” said Assemblywoman Rajkumar. “Whether it is the brilliant Rolling Stones covers at Queens Rockfest, or the dazzling paintings by artists in the Woodhaven Art Circle, Queens is a hotbed of the arts. I am proud to once again showcase the talented and emerging artists of Queens, right here in the heart of my district at the Forest Park Bandshell.”

“We are delighted to partner again with Assemblywoman Rajkumar, the premier patron of the arts in Queens,” said Wasek. “As the hometown of Simon and Garfunkel, the Ramones, and Leslie West, Queens is easily the rockingest borough. On July 9th, we will prove it once again with the Queens Rockfest, and we look forward to rocking out with Assemblywoman Rajkumar for many years to come.”

All proceeds from the event will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
