Syracuse Crawfish Festival

The Syracuse Crawfish Festival is a fun, family-friendly event held the first Saturday in May in the heart of downtown Syracuse. It holds the bragging rights of being the first festival of the season, offering authentic Cajun Music, lively dancing, crafters, vendors and an endless assortment of delicious food otherwise only offered on the Gulf Coast.

The roots of ONC, originally known as "Operation Southern Comfort," were planted following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, a small group of brave Central New Yorkers donated their time and energy to travel to New Orleans and aid in the cleanup effort. Since then, there have been 66 trips to provide relief to areas devastated by natural disasters. We have already made our first trip of 2024. In January we traveled to Buffalo, NY to continue repairs at a church. We will organize and go where we are needed when we are needed.The individuals behind ONC pride themselves on their projects, including 5 -home rebuilds, over 90 ramp installations, 14 lift installations and hundreds of home improvements. ONC is responsible for the Desks4Kids Initiative, which saw over 1,500 desks build for children in need of dedicated in home learning spaces, as well as Bookshelves4Kids, a literary initiative to provide children with books and bookshelves. To date we have built and delivered over 400 book shelves. Our goal is to continue providing services for our community and develop new projects in accordance with the needs our local people.The 17th Annual Syracuse Crawfish Festival has free admission and will feature five local bands that will take the stage to bring live musical entertainment to attendees. This year, we will have a Native American dance performance as well as a performance by dancers from PGR Inc.

In This Moment: The Godmode Tour

In This Moment: THE GODMODE TOUR is coming to the Landmark Theatre with special guests Kim Dracula, I See Stars and Mike's Dead.

With a Grammy nomination (“The In-Between,” 2021), platinum and gold record sales, multiple Top 25 entries on the Billboard Top 200 (“Black Widow” and “Ritual”), hits including “Whore,” “Blood,” and ”Adrenalize” and career streams of more than 1.3 billion, you’d think In This Moment might rest on their laurels. Instead, they’ve created GODMODE, 10 dynamic songs that mark a new high for the quintet, further cementing their legacy in the heavy music world. Proof positive is in GODMODE’s first single, the industrial-heavy yet ultra-melodic “THE PURGE,” and its darkly cinematic video directed by Jensen Noen (Bring Me The Horizon, Demi Lovato). From the portentous start of the ‘90s-tinged “GODMODE” with Maria Brink’s powerful primal scream to the pitch-perfect cover of Bjork’s 1995 “Army of Me” to the impassioned pain to partnership in “EVERYTHING STARTS AND ENDS WITH YOU,” GODMODE is a cut above.
