Syracuse events

Not only is Syracuse located in central New York, but it's also commonly considered the geographic center of the state. Situated along the banks of the historic Erie Canal (and home to the dedicated Erie Canal Museum), Syracuse is also the gateway to the Finger Lakes, New York's most important wine-producing region, as well as the beloved Syracuse State Fair, which is consistently one of the country's top-ranking state fairs. With so much excitement already knit into the city's geographic fabric, it's not surprising that Syracuse has boundless opportunities for entertainment!

Syracuse venues

Visitors to Syracuse shouldn't miss a visit to the historic Landmark Theatre, which originally opened as a movie palace but is now used mainly for Broadway-caliber musical theatre productions. Catch live music and other acts at the Westcott Theatre, or head over to the Lakeview Amphitheater to catch some of the biggest names in music on tour.

If your interests trend more toward the baseball diamond, take a seat in the stands at NBT Bank Stadium to see the Syracuse Chiefs, an AAA minor league baseball team and affiliate of the Washington Nationals. Hockey lovers can catch a game featuring the AHL affiliate Syracuse Crunch, while soccer fans may be interested in a Syracuse Silver Knights match. But college sports are really where it's at in this town, so you won't want to miss your chance to see the Syracuse Orange in action. This city is especially proud of the Syracuse Orange basketball team.
