Each July, Aurora residents eagerly await the arrival of the Aurorafest, a fun-filled weekend of games and activity galore that spans the entire town.
The festivities began on Friday evening with live music from local bands, food, beverages of all kinds and gatherings with friends and family.
The "Battle of the Bands" held on the Wells College main lawn on Friday night brought many out to enjoy six local music groups. On Saturday morning, the fun continued with a 2.5-mile run through town beginning at the United Ministries Church in Aurora.
Immediately following the run, guests of the Aurorafest were invited to take a swim in Cayuga Lake, beginning at the Gundersons' dock and ending at the Aurora Inn dock.
The festival continues throughout the day and into the evening Saturday.

missed her niche.She should have been
there she proclaims to be Auroras Savio
r,with Wells College.Now people have to
be invited to swim,at these docks in or
der to swim.Next thing you will need to
apply for a permit,to enter the water.
The college did well to block access to
the lakes swimmers years ago.This is a
good way to do community service,in you
r area of committment.Boy!there are few
places for people to go swimming,withou
t having to pay.Wells and the Village m
ust have paid their Liability Insurance
so they could fool the people into beli
eving how great the college and village
are so generous.The kids really have no
place to go swimming,and have lots of time to do other things people blame th
em for.The old Swimming Holes are close
d because careless people got hurt.Excu
ses are abundant for closing access to
all which should remain free.A Public L
ake for the Public,is the scene at ever
y resourse which should remain free to
All people.Hey,but then this is a later
time,and people hurt other peoples free
doms,with no problems or guilt! Geeze,
Aurora,you are so good.You are in the
same league as the other lake communiti
es in being a Good Neighbor.Boy oh Boy! "
