Another of the highlights of our summer in the southern tier is the annual July Fest which starts today and continues on both Saturday and Sunday July 11th to July 13th where it has been for the past 52 years, right here in downtown Binghamton.

The fest features many artists, including crafters, many talented artists, vendors and we can’t exclude some top notch live entertainment from a few Grammy winners too.

I remember my mother displaying her paintings on the lawn of the courthouse back in the mid 70’s, July Fest has always been a big community event that draws not only fans of the arts, but individuals and families with an appreciation and curiosity for the talents on display during this 3 day event.

I encourage you to come out and experience this for yourself.

July Fest hours are 10a to dark on Friday July 11th and Saturday July 12th, and 10a till 5p on Sunday July 13th
