The city's biggest party of the year is now just days away. Right now, the stage is being set for CelebrateErie.

We caught crews hard at work setting up for the three-day festival. The downtown party kicks off this Friday, August 15, with Russell Dickerson headlining "Country" night.

Expect tons of food, vendors, and music all around Perry Square this weekend. And of course... the popular Chalkwalk!

CelebrateErie runs through Sunday, August 17.
