“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management is proud to be the presenting sponsor for the first annual Scarchella Music Festival,” said Sandra Richards, Morgan Stanley Managing Director and Head of the Global Sports and Entertainment Division. ‘It’s a great opportunity for residents of Westchester to enjoy good music performed by local musicians.”

The SBA is thrilled to announce its partnership with the Scarsdale Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) to make Scarchella a zero waste event. Meals and snacks from food vendors will be served on compostable (made from plants) or recyclable serveware. The Village will be providing bin stations with recycling and compost bins to keep any waste out of the trash. The goal is to have little to no trash from the event! Volunteers from the CAC and the community will be on hand at the bin stations to help and answer any questions. Scarsdale was the first municipality in Westchester County to launch a food scrap recycling program and the SBA is proud to support this community-wide effort by making Scarchella a zero waste event! There will be food scrap recycling kits for sale for residents interested in joining the program!

Scarchella Music Festival will be donating a portion of proceeds to Backyard Sports Cares (byardsportscares.org) and The Southeast Consortium (secrec.org). Our donation will help fund community programs for those with limited access and special needs right here in Westchester County.

While this is a free community event, there is a suggested charitable donation of $5. In order to enter the wine tent and consume alcohol, you must show ID that you are over 21 and purchase a wristband for $25. All food and non-alcoholic beverages are a pay as you go.
