At today's The Party in the Park (Exchange Blvd. and Court St.) at The Riverside Festival Site (Exchange Blvd. at Court St., under the Freddie-Sue Bridge) at 5 p.m. is Rusted Root, and Sarah Borges and The Broken Singles.

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Zardoz starting at 8 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar: "Sean Connery stars as Zed, slavemaster to a race of primitive 'Brutals' in the year 2293. Zed becomes a stowaway on the giant stonehead of Zardoz, to whom the Brutals give all of their harvested wheat, and travels into the world of the 'Eternals,' a brilliant but emotionless super race, who decide to use Zed to repopulate their race, as the men are all impotent."
