Syracuse Winterfest has arrived! We are halfway through the snowiest, coldest and most vortex-prone month historically speaking. The events in CNY are growing in number as the daylight hours are getting longer.
Go downtown to participate in food and beverage competitions, enjoy live music and dance a little bit, sit back and enjoy some closing weekend performances, listen to inspirational and comedic stories, plus much more.
