“I can feel the roller coaster…I can smell the cotton candy….and I can hear the people. This is where we grew up – Palisades Park,” said Cousin Brucie. “It lives!!!!”
Wearing his famous leopard-skin suit, Brucie prowled the big stage at Palisades Park, which operated from 1898 to 1971 on the edge of Bergen County, overlooking Manhattan. At Palisades Park, thousands of Brucie fans enjoyed performances by the biggest names in rock ‘n’ roll history. This year’s Palisades Park Reunion will celebrate the historic amusement park and the shows that Brucie hosted there while fairgoers enjoy the sounds of the ‘60s, acres full of exciting rides, and the vintage cruise-in car show to really get the vibes going.
