The hot, hot weather of this past week is supposed to break just in time for some weekend fun.
The city of Rome takes the spotlight again with the Rome Canalfest August 3, 4 & 5 presented by the Rome Rotary. The festival is family oriented with non-stop music and entertainment, karaoke contests, bread and cookie baking contests, youth bands, a kayak race, a duck race, a classic car exhibition, cotton candy, thrilling rides for children of all ages. FULL SCHEDULE HERE
The Utica Zoo promises great music, great food and great beer at the Brewfest on Saturday starting at 6pm. Beer tasting from 30 microbreweries will keep you busy sampling and don't forget the silent auction (never too early to start that holiday shopping!) I attended the Zoo's Wine in the Wilderness event and had a great time, so I'm sure this will be just as fun. No one under 21 allowed. MORE INFO
Another area highlight is the City of the Hills Festival Saturday, August 4 in Oneonta. City of the Hills is a juried art exhibition and sale, featuring artist demonstrations and workshops, musical performances and an awards ceremony. It all benefits the ARC Otsego.
