March 29, 2019 by Noelle Pettipas

For immediate release

Summerside bookstore ready for Indian River Festival ON SALE ticket date!

Seaside Books on Water street in downtown Summerside will be offering a selection of tickets for the Indian River Festival’s 2019 summer concert series.

Located at 240 Water street, the book store was purchased by Nancy Quinn recently and Seaside Books will be selling the Festivals individual concert tickets starting Tuesday, April 2nd at 10AM Atlantic time, the Festival’s ON SALE date.

“I am proud to support Indian River Festival, because music culture is important to readers” said Nancy Quinn, owner of Seaside Books in Summerside “Local culture is important to me and music makes my heart sing.”

The Festival, now in it’s 24th year, includes the best in folk, jazz, blues, roots, classical, choral, traditional and contemporary music all in the acoustically perfect Historic St. Mary’s Church in Indian River, Prince Edward Island.

Tickets will be made available online and via telephone at the same time.

“The only folks who already have their tickets are those who have purchased packages already. This is the first time Indian River Festival tickets have been offered at a location other than our box office or administrative offices for an ON SALE date.” Quarles said.
