Another sure sign of life returning to normal is the return of summer festivals in downtown Syracuse.
On Friday, July 23 through Sunday, July 25, the 50th Anniversary Edition of the Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival will take place throughout the Cathedral (Columbus) Square Neighborhood.
The free, three-day, family-friendly event will be the first festival to take place in downtown Syracuse since 2019.
The annual festival, presented by AmeriCU and the Downtown Committee of Syracuse, Inc., is recognized as the “most prestigious show of its kind in Central New York and hailed as one of the premier festivals in the Northeast.”
The intersections of East Onondaga, East Jefferson and Montgomery Streets will “come to life” with artists, craftspeople, street performers, strolling musicians and summer refreshments.
Nearly 130 of the nation’s most talented artists will be showcasing their work and guests will be able to browse and buy contemporary arts and crafts, including ceramics, sculptures, photography, painting, woodworking, jewelry, clothing, and more.
See a preview of featured items at DowntownSyracuse.com and an entertainment schedule will be posted there soon.
Masks are optional for fully vaccinated attendees. Organizers ask those not fully vaccinated to wear a mask. Handwashing stations will be provided.
