Seasonal
Activities
Any day of the week, any season of the year, Syracuse
bustles with special events. Festivals, fairs, shows
and celebrations – plan to see it in Syracuse.
fuse2005 takes place during
the beautiful month of October. Crisp nights and warm
days bring out the brilliant colors of autumn.
How about:
- Driving historic Routes 5 and 20 and “leaf-peeping”?
The rolling hills just to the south of the city
of Syracuse are breathtaking this time of year.
Call 315-470-1910 and ask for suggested routes.
- Apple-picking? Those same colorful
hills just to our south are perfect for growing
apples. There are scores of orchards in “Apple
Country”, many of which allow you to pick
your own fruit or reasonable prices. Find an orchard
here.
The late varieties like Northern Spy and Jonagold
will be just right for picking.
- Horseback-riding? Syracuse/Onondaga
County has acres of verdant parkland. Take your
pick of recreational activities, including horseback-riding
at Highland Forest in Fabius. Check out the possibilities
at www.OnondagaCountyParks.com.
- Going out on the town? Happening
hotspots are Downtown’s Armory Square (chic
nightspot), Hanover Square (Olde-Europe-style quarter),
Clinton Square (festival center with reflecting
pool and monument), and Little Italy (redeveloping
district honoring our Italian heritage, now home
to cafés, restaurants, and specialty shops.)
