Westcott Street Cultural Fair



2008 Westcott Street Cultural Fair

Sunday, September 21, 12:00 - 6:30 PM

A little over two weeks from now, the 16th annual Westcott Street Cultural Fair will kick off at noon on...you guessed it, Westcott Street in Syracuse.

WAER is a proud sponsor of this fair, which brings more than 8,000 people annually to the Westcott Business District, providing value to the community culture of not only Syracuse, but also to all of Central New York.

The Westcott Street Cultural Fair is an annual, one-day celebration of the diversity and uniqueness of the Westcott neighborhood through its culture, visual and performing arts, food, service organizations, and activities geared to families and university students returning to the neighborhood.

The Westcott Street Cultural Fair includes a wide variety of activities, live performances, arts and crafts, delicious food, and even a parade which will meet at 11:30 a.m. at the Westcott Community Center and march at Noon.
