Family Activities – Families play a big role in the event’s success, and participatory activities are offered with them in mind. Interactive projects allow young visitors opportunities to assemble 3-dimenstional creations.
A Community Festival – Area businesses participate by holding open houses and other activities, including family-friendly art activities and a popular sidewalk art competition, Chalk Jam. Several of these activities are presented with the Everson Museum of Art, the Onondaga Historical Association, the YMCA – Downtown Writers Center and the Montgomery Street Collective crafts show. The Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival runs concurrently with the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival in Clinton Square. Thousands of visitors will attend all these events, making this the signature cultural event of the summer in Syracuse.
