Things to Do in Syracuse; Weekend Pick

We had a lot of feedback from our weekend pick post last week and will continue to provide our suggestions to keep Syracuse off the couch. Weather looks good.

The Everson Museum is hosting it's 60/60 event tonight (6.17). 60 artists create a piece of art in 60 minutes and then the artwork is raffled off. Wine and food sampling as part of the fun. The event takes place in the Everson Plaza under tents.You can still buy tickets at the door for $30. Hope to see you there! Then head to Bittersweet for a post-event dessert and cocktail.

Saturday we suggest heading to Clinton Square for the Juneteenth Celebration. Juneteenth is a celebration of diversity and understanding and shares African American culture through music, food, dance, artisans. You won't want to miss the Wassa PanAfrika Dance Ensemble performing at 5:00p on Saturday (6.18) then stay for a while. No matter the color of your skin, you'll enjoy the music (Gospel, Soul, Blues, R&B). So come on down! Oh, and the event is free.

Sunday is Father's Day, a perfect reason to head to one of our many parks and beaches. Green Lakes State Park is our pick. A round of golf, a picnic lunch, nap and then hike around the lake - it's an easy trail with a great view of the lake most of the way.

PS: The highlight of last weekend's pick was moe. giving a shout out to the short but well-lived life of Sean Samolis.
