Salt City Summerfest

Syracuse will get its first dose of big city excitement when
the Salt City Summerfest kicks off on Friday July 23rd,
the premier weekend of a seven-week stretch of
street entertainment across downtown Syracuse
that will last until September 11th.
The events will focus on support for the sidewalk dining areas of downtown during peak weekend times from 5:30 to 8:00 pm, Wednesday lunch hour concerts at noon for downtown residents and workers in Perseverance Park at South Salina and Fayette streets, and in keeping with their 25-year history of providing America’s art form to the city, jazz and funk options at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown’s patio on Wednesday and Saturday evenings. There are two strolling routes where artists will rove about serenading sidewalk dining areas one by one.
The west route includes stops at Pastabilities, Kitty Hoynes, Funk n’ Waffles, Al’s Wine & Whiskey Lounge, and the Modern Malt/Sky Armory alley. The east route includes The Fish Friar, Otro Cinco, A Mano, and Luna Loca on Columbus Circle, the former Mission Restaurant.

Performances will cover virtually every downtown sidewalk dining area with music of all kinds.
Schedules will be announced weekly.
Starting in week two of the festival, the Wednesday schedule of lunch concerts and jazz evenings on the Marriott patio will begin.
