Altogether, Taste of Syracuse will have non-stop music for two days featuring more than 26 bands and over 100 local musicians.

The event, described as “Central New York’s biggest food and music festival” will return for its 25th anniversary June 2 and June 3 in and around Clinton Square from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. both days. Admission is free.  Those attending can sample items from local eateries for only $2.

Taste of Syracuse is sponsored by The Summit Federal Credit Union and presented by Tops Friendly Markets. 

The Taste of Syracuse will collect donations for two charitable organizations, PEACE Inc. Big Brothers Big Sisters and Sleep in Heavenly Peace. The Summit, Tops, and other sponsors and vendors will be working with the festival to raise money for the charities both days.  All proceeds from activities at the Summit’s tent and the Tops tent will be donated to the charities.

“It’s hard to believe that we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Taste of Syracuse,” Carrie Wojtaszek, COO of Galaxy Media, said in a news release. “Time sure flies when you’re having fun.  We stand by our message that no matter what you’re looking for, musically or food-wise, we truly can say we’ve got it at the Taste of Syracuse!  We’re also thrilled to be raising awareness and funds for both PEACE Inc. Big Brothers Big Sisters and Sleep in Heavenly Peace. We’d like to thank The Summit Federal Credit Union and Tops Friendly Markets for their support.  With help from our sponsors, we’re able to showcase this amazing event to the CNY community!”
