ArtsWeek Returns to the Heart of Syracuse

The Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival, a three-day event at Columbus Circle that runs July 25-27, showcases artists and entertainers from 25 states and Canada.

ArtsWeek, an annual weeklong festival celebrating artists and art lovers both, will transform the streets of downtown Syracuse from Saturday, July 19, to Sunday, July 27. Festivities are scheduled to take place in Armory Square, Columbus Circle, Hanover Square and Clinton Square. ArtsWeek-fullArtsWeek is a collaboration of more than 20 arts and cultural organizations. It was made possible by the teaming of the AmeriCu Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival and the Northeast Jazz and Wine Festival. “The idea is to get people moving between the festivals,” said Laurie Reed,  the director of marketing for the Downtown Committee of Syracuse. Reed has been the director of the Syracuse Arts And Crafts festival for 30 years and expects to see more than 50,000 people swarm downtown this year. Festival highlights include the 44th annual Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival, the Northeast Jazz and Wine Festival, the Stage of Nations Blue Rain EcoFest and other exhibitions and hands-on events.
