Happy mid-July! It’s that time of the year where we get to enjoy classic everything.
The Nationals roll into town and The Yard in Manlius is holding a classic motorcycle swap. We celebrate women’s rights with the weekend-long Convention Days. And there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy an open-air music and arts festival, especially with the Ameribeat Festival of Arts.
This trimmed event listing also features a garden tour, a gem of a weekend-long exhibit, boating, pancakes and The Who!
Whatever you choose to do, have a great weekend!
