    2020 Festival Updates

    Monday, July 20, 2020 4:00 PM by Elizabeth Judge

    The City of Syracuse and many surrounding areas have suspended the summer festivals and events that would draw large groups of people. As of mid-July 2020, Central New York is only allowed to have gatherings of up to 50 people. Since many of our locals and visitors alike love our summer and fall festivals and special events, we've worked on a wrap-up of which events are postponed until 2021 and which events have gone virtual or take-out for 2020. Check back as we find out more information about some of the region's top summer and fall events. 

     

    July

    42nd Skaneateles Antique & Classic Boat Show: The live event has been cancelled but there will be a Virtual Show from July 20th-26th that can be found on their Facebook page

    50th Annual Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival: This popular downtown Syracuse event will be showcased virtually in 2020. The event will feature over 180 artists broken up into seven categories: Fabric, Fiber & Leatherwork, Metalwork & Sculpture, Woodwork, Ceramics, Glass & Mixed Media, Jewelry, 2-Dimensional Work and Photography & Digital Art. Most products may be purchased online, directly from the artists’ websites and social media pages. The 50th Anniversary event hopes to be rescheduled for 2021. Find all participating artists here.

    St. Patrick’s Irish Fest: This popular Tipp Hill neighborhood event will switch to a Live Facebook Stream for 2020. Virtual attendees will have the chance to hear some of their favorite local bands including Flyin’ Column, The Public House, The Causeway Giants and The Mere Mortals. There will also be Irish Dancing performances and a drawing of Sweepstakes Raffle winners. You can stream the event from their Facebook page here.
