Enjoy live music at the Riverview Park & Zoo! Fyd L Styx will be performing on Sunday, June 7, 2026, from 2 to 4 PM.
FYD L STYX was formed in 2005 by the late Sally Pirie. Sally had many students and musical friends who had nowhere to perform the music they had learned.
FYD L STYX performs several concerts a year at Douro’s Irish Celebration, Riverview Zoo, Lock 31 at Buckhorn, St James Church and several smaller venues as well.
